About the Item

A well-executed alabaster figure of a nude boy seated on a rocky base, leaning forward intently as he removes a thorn from his foot. The carving demonstrates fine anatomical detailing and a sensitive portrayal of youthful concentration. The base is circular and smoothly finished, complementing the classical composition. Circa 1830 - 1840 Italian Condition: Excellent overall with minor surface wear and natural inclusions in the alabaster. Spinario is a bronze Greco-Roman Helenistic sculpture, now in the Pallazo dei Conservatori Rome. A Roman marble copy is in the Uffizi Florence. Spinario, first recorded in 1160 is one of the very few bronzes to come down to us, that has never been lost from sight.
