About the Item

An exceptional and well-studied large-scale carving of a torso in black basalt after the Roman antique. Depicted life-sized, standing in contrapposto with his weight on his left leg, the right slightly advanced, the left arm projecting forward, the figure with softly-modeled musculature. Black basalt is a very fine-grained igneous rock and is rarely used in sculpture due to its incredible hardness, harder than granite. Torso dimensions: Height 100cm Width / depth 45cm On stand (Rotating) 2 meters.
