About the Item
Alabaster sculptural group depicting a pair of begging children belonging to the second half of the 19th century.
The work is of great value and sculptural quality as the artist manages to capture the drama of the act and stop it in its most poignant moment.
The woman is depicted as she extends her hand while her little brother remains squatting on her lap.

- Ram's Head Contemporary Plaster Sculpture with Green Patina Ancient Rome StyleLocated in Firenze, ITThis contemporary plaster sculpture of a ram’s head is inspired by the art of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece with a reference to Neoclassicism and Neoclassical period old masters, when the discoveries of archaeological sites became the focal point in art history between the 18th and 19th century. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art featuring a majestic appearance due to its large curling ridged horns. This animal figurative work of art is sculpted on the round, the artist took inspiration both from his imagination and archaic reminiscences. He modeled the inert chalk creating an animal with very real facial expression and incredible realistic features with intricate detailed head. This sculpture is the plaster cast hand modeled by the artist that served him as a reference model to create a bronze sculpture with the lost wax technique, also the bronze version is on sale on my page. So it represents the first phase of a fascinating and long process of creating sculptural art, a studio piece made as a maquette before a bronze version was cast. The present aries' head sculpture has been painted to simulate the green patina that archaeological metal sculptures take over the centuries. Two green patina sculptures...Category
