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.

Moreau" Item # 012SKP14W A fine model of a rural young farmer resting against a rocky outcrop to sharpen his scythe, the base of which has been set in the hay collected in a pile beside the rock; the naturalistic base is signed along the back in his typical nearly cursive script "Math.
