About the Item

Charming cast stone statue with fine detailing and relief of a young girl or woman dressed in classical draped chiton, her hair in chignon style secured with a ribbon, with eyes cast downwards, gracefully walking and carrying an pitcher in one arm, the other resting against her body. Standing on the original stone plinth decorated with a stylised carved bunch of grapes on each side. The pitcher and the grapes suggest that this a representation of Amphictyonis, Greek goddess of wine and friendship between nations. The figure could also represent Hebe, Greek goddess of youth and cup bearer for the gods of Mount Olympus serving them with drinks of immortality, but Hebe is usually always shown carrying a cup in her other hand and the reference to wine is irrelevant to Hebe. It is therefore more likely to be Amphictyonis. Measures: full height 137cm., 54" sculpture height 99cm., 39" plinth height 38cm.,15" Plinth depth and width 33 cm 12 3/4".

Sculpture Sandstone Carved Figurative The Thinker
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
The Thinker Mid-Century Modern, sandstone sculpture depicting a seated man, artist unknown This Mid-Century Modern interpretation of The Thinker interprets the pain, release and liberation associated with free-thinking. The man conveys vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, his body yielding into the support of the chair creating a sense of rest and peace. Provenance: Private Collection acquired from The Hidden Gallery, Scotland Measures: Height 50cm.,20" Length 33cm., 15" Depth 22cm., 81/2" The Thinker - Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917). Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922. When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work. The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31). While remaining in place on the monumental Gates...
