About the Item
A sculpture of Boy with Thor grand tour style carved in Italy in the 19th century in white statuary marble, a scale size from the one preserved at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
The statue portrays a naked boy sitting on a rock, intent on removing a thorn from his foot, which probably stuck while the boy was crushing the grapes during the harvest. It was a very widespread and well-known motif in antiquity, probably created in Greece in the 3rd century BC. From there it reached Rome where it was replicated to depict Ascanius, son of Aeneas and, according to the myth, progenitor of the dynasty to which Julius Caesar and August.
The Child is presented with an intent gaze turned to his left foot which is resting on his right knee, his hair caressing his neck and forehead, the shapes of his body carefully modeled to portray a young man's body with muscles tense in the difficult task of not feel pain while trying to pull the thorn out of the foot
