About the Item
This sculpture represents a warrior with Arab features, carved entirely in marble using a polychrome marble technique. The work combines different types and colors of marble, creating a natural contrast without the need for additional paint or metals.
The sculptor used dark marble to represent the figure's skin, while the garment and turban are carved in light marble with ochre and orange veins, highlighting the folds and volumes of the garment. The sword, sheathed and crossed over the chest, is crafted in reddish or fossil purple marble, providing a striking chromatic detail.
The piece is part of the sculptural repertoire of 19th-century Orientalism, when European workshops produced exotic figures inspired by the cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. This type of sculpture was highly prized in the decoration of palaces and aristocratic residences, for its technical virtuosity and material richness.
Working in multi-colored marble requires a very high level of skill, as it involves carefully selecting and assembling the pieces to achieve a natural and harmonious effect.
