Description from the seller

Carrara marble sculpture depicting a prince with an orb, created in a neoclassical style and datable to the early 20th century. The figure is presented standing on a circular pedestal, with a serene attitude and frontal posture, holding the orb in one hand, a symbol of universal power, and possibly a royal attribute or gesture of authority in the other.

The anatomical treatment is contained and idealized, following the classical canons: youthful face, short and modeled hair, clothing with soft folds that evoke the Roman tunic or the imperial cloak. Carrara marble, with a fine grain and white tone, allows for precise and elegant carving, highlighting the details of the face, hands, and garments.

This work reflects the historicist taste for imperial iconography and Greco-Roman aesthetics. Its sculptural quality and symbolism make it a prominent piece for collectors of neoclassical sculpture, academic art, or palatial decoration.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
