Atlas statue made by the Belgian Royal Museum for Art and History

This example is in very good condition with only minor chips and a beautiful patina. It was probably made between 1920 and 1940.

The pose, with his hands on his hips and his head bowed, emphasises the enormous physical burden and muscular tension
