Neo Classical Plaster Italian Sculpture of a Hand
Located in Catania, Sicilia
This is a Neoclassical Revival Italian plaster sculpture depicting a realistically rendered hand, signed and dated Rome, 25 Agosto 1857. The piece is a fine example of mid-19th century academic craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and anatomical precision characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which was heavily influenced by ancient Roman and Greek art. The hand is sculpted with incredible attention to detail from the gentle curvature of the fingers to the subtle articulation of the knuckles and fingernails. The plaster surface has a softly textured, matte finish, evoking the look of marble and lending the piece a timeless, classical feel. This sculpture was intended as a study model or academic cast, often used in art schools or ateliers of the time to teach drawing and sculpting from classical forms. The handwritten inscription of the date and location adds a personal and historical touch, anchoring it to a specific moment in 19th-century Rome —a hub of Neoclassical art and study during that period. It’s both a decorative object and a historical artifact, perfect for collectors of classical art, academic studies, or antique plaster casts.
