Sculpture

Ancient alabaster sculptural group belonging to the Napoleon III period in the second half of the nineteenth century. The work shows two figures finely draped in a tender, affectionate gesture positioned on a rocky base. The adult female figure serves as the visual and structural focal point, while the girl leans against her right side, creating a sinuous line that guides the viewer's eye from bottom to top. The main figure wears a classical-inspired tunic (chiton) cinched under the bust, while with the left hand she lifts the hem of the skirt with a graceful gesture, revealing her advancing left foot. The face is idealized, with symmetric and serene features, framed by hair gathered by a ribbon at the nape. The secondary figure is captured in a dynamic pose of affectionate abandonment toward the maternal figure and is partly wrapped in a thin drapery. Conditions: Excellent. Provenance: France, 19th century. Measurements: 30x30 H70cm. Document: Certificate of Authenticity. Assistance: We are at your disposal for further clarifications or additional photographs. Shipping: Throughout Italy, Europe, and the Rest of the World at very affordable prices, in maximum safety and traceability. Shipping will be arranged privately and will not be expensive. We wish you a good day. Borrelli Antichità.
