EARLY 19th CENTURY PAIR OF SCULPTURES "ALLEGORY OF THE ARTS"

About the Item

Elegant pair of biscuit small size sculptures depicting the allegory of painting and sculpture. The two works, clearly classically inspired, show two elegant and refined women, dressed in chitons and with gathered hair. The sculpture representing painting features a woman intent on painting on a canvas with a palette in hand, while the other representing sculpture features a woman working on a warrior bust with a hammer and chisel. The two figures are sitting on nineteenth-century armchairs, one with flared legs and the other with legs in the shape of an animal's paw. The mastery and delicacy of biscuit processing give the works a timeless elegance, making them perfect for lovers of classic art and refined aesthetics. French manufacture from the early 19th century. Measurements: H x W x D 18 x 11 x 16cm
