DESCRIPTION
SUSSE FRÈRES. Paris, XIX century.
Bust of "The Victorious Athlete".
Lost wax bronze, patinated. Porphyry base.
Signed and stamped by the publisher.
Presents some faults in the hair.
Measurements: 47 x 23 x 20 cm.
This bust, cast by the renowned Susse Frères house, is inspired by the Greek sculpture of the "Victorious Athlete". The original work embodies the ideal of classical beauty, showing a harmonious and athletic body in a natural and slightly turned posture that suggests movement; the athlete raises his right arm towards his head, as if he was about to put on the olive wreath of triumph, and presents an expressive and concentrated face, with realistic details such as the originally inlaid eyes.
