Pair Of 19th-century Mythological Bronzes: Poseidon And Nereid

A beautiful pair of 19th-century bronze sculptures, with a warm, antique brown patina, depicting Poseidon (signed Guillaume) and a Nereid, emblematic figures of marine mythology. Poseidon, with his sculpted body, sits in a shell, accompanied by a finely carved fish. The presence of Guillaume's signature, visible on the back of the sculpture, adds significant interest to this work. The graceful and elegant Nereid is depicted in a dynamic pose, her arm raised, also seated in a shell with undulating contours. Both figures rest on richly detailed, naturalistic bases representing rocks and flowing waves. The quality and finesse of the modeling and the beautiful original patina attest to meticulous craftsmanship, characteristic of 19th-century artistic production.
