Bronze sculpture from the Empire Period

About the Item

Very important bronze sculpture with brown patina from the Empire period. The bronze depicts an antique woman with a crown, or "La Victoire". The young woman, standing, holds a laurel wreath in her hands, raised above her head. Her hair is tied up in a bun, and she is wearing a drapery that slightly covers her body and is sculpted to give an effect of movement. The young woman also wears gilded bronze armbands on her arms. She rests on a half-sphere, which in turn rests on a square black marble base.
