About the Item

This finely cast bronze sculpture, made in France in the late 19th century, is a striking representation of a classical Greek warrior — likely a hoplite — caught in the dynamic motion of launching a spear, shield in hand, muscles taut with energy. The warrior’s heroic nudity, helmet, and octagonal shield clearly draw from Ancient Greek artistic ideals, evoking the noble beauty and strength seen in classical statuary. The pose is both dramatic and harmonious, showcasing superb anatomical detail and movement. The bronze rests on a solid black marble base, creating a refined contrast with the warm tones and beautiful natural patina of the bronze. The craftsmanship is precise and elegant, with a remarkable sense of life and balance. Made in France, late 19th century Dimensions: Height: 15 cm (approx. 5.9 inches) Width: 15 cm (approx. 5.9 inches) Depth: 8 cm (approx. 3.1 inches) A compact yet powerful piece — ideal for collectors of classical-inspired sculpture, antique bronzes, or Grand Tour–style works. Full of character, grace, and historic charm. Free shipping worlswide
