French Bronze Sculpture Antique Bust of Greek Warrior, late 19th century

About the Item

FRENCH SCHOOL 4th qtr, 19th century Bust of Greek Warrior Patinated bronze unsigned cast circa late 19th century Item # 304KEX30P A fine casting that probably depicts the warrior Achilles, though perhaps being a depiction of Aeneas. The warrior is captured looking to the right with a firm jaw and a determined intensity that follows from his eyes through all of his features. He wears a brilliantly decorated helmet flanked on either side with wings, the body of the helmet decorated with bas-relief scrolling acanthus below the large plume that cascades over the crown. The cast dates from the fourth quarter of the 19th century and rests over a separately cast turned socle over a squared plinth. Measurements: 18 1/8" H x 8 1/4" W x 5 1/4" D Condition Report: Natural age related variation to the patina including surface staining, light wear, trace tarnish and underlying accretion. Carefully cleaned, sealed in wax and polished. A very nice presentation.
