Early 19th C Classical Plaster Sculpture Flora Goddess of Spring Humphrey Hooper
About the Item
A fine and early to mid 19th century plaster depiction of Flora the Goddess of Spring, possibly by Humphrey Hooper
Flora, the Roman goddess of spring, through the chaplet of flowers that she wears in her hair and the wreath of flowers held in her left hand. Flora is dressed in a diaphanous close-fitting robe, fastened at her left shoulder and left loose at the right shoulder, to expose her right breast. Her right hand is raised and clenched, gripping a small swag of drapery, with a hole in the centre, designed to hold a lamp, which is now missing and the hole has been filled. There is a tree trunk support by Flora’s right leg, whilst the figure is designed so that it leans forward. On an integral circular base
Lots of nibbles and knocks, age related wear and staining, the majority of the original painted finish is present almost has a coade stone tone. Some evidence of some old repairs and a section of the flower wreath is missing.

Neo Classical Plaster Italian Sculpture of a Hand
Located in Catania, Sicilia
This is a Neoclassical Revival Italian plaster sculpture depicting a realistically rendered hand, signed and dated Rome, 25 Agosto 1857. The piece is a fine example of mid-19th century academic craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and anatomical precision characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which was heavily influenced by ancient Roman and Greek art.
The hand is sculpted with incredible attention to detail from the gentle curvature of the fingers to the subtle articulation of the knuckles and fingernails. The plaster surface has a softly textured, matte finish, evoking the look of marble and lending the piece a timeless, classical feel.
This sculpture was intended as a study model or academic cast, often used in art schools or ateliers of the time to teach drawing and sculpting from classical forms. The handwritten inscription of the date and location adds a personal and historical touch, anchoring it to a specific moment in 19th-century Rome —a hub of Neoclassical art and study during that period.
It’s both a decorative object and a historical artifact, perfect for collectors of classical art, academic studies, or antique plaster casts.
