Sculpture

Ancient alabaster sculptural group dating to the Second Empire (Napoleon III) in the late nineteenth century. The work shows two finely draped figures in a tender gesture positioned on a rocky base. The adult female figure serves as the visual and structural focal point, while the girl rests against her right side, creating a sinuous line that guides the viewer's eye from bottom to top. The principal figure wears a classical-inspired tunic (chiton) tight under the bust, while with her left hand she lifts the hem of the skirt in a graceful gesture, revealing the advancing left foot. The face is idealized with symmetric and serene features, framed by hair gathered with a ribbon at the back of the head. The secondary figure is captured in a dynamic pose, in affectionate abandonment toward the maternal figure, and is partially draped by a thin mantle. Conditions: Excellent condition. Provenance: France, 19th century. Measurements: 30 x 30 x 70 cm (H 70 cm). Document: Certificate of Authenticity. Assistance: We are at your disposal for further clarifications or particular photographs. Shipping: Throughout Italy, Europe and the Rest of the World at very affordable prices, with maximum security and traceability. The shipment will be arranged privately and will not be expensive. Have a good day. Borrelli Antichità.
