Description from the seller

Donatello's David is a bronze statue from c. 1440, created by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Donatello.
It was the first freestanding male nude since antiquity and caused a sensation when it was unveiled.
The statue depicts the Biblical King David with his foot on the head of the beheaded giant Goliath. The androgynous, almost feminine young man with a mysterious smile is entirely naked, except for his boots and a hat adorned with a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory. In his hand he holds Goliath's sword.

Donatello's bronze David is one of the most groundbreaking creations in the history of sculpture, a work that forever changed the perception of beauty, youth, and heroism

greatly beautiful, highly detailed bronze statue for home or garden
has a two-colored marble base
beautiful classical statue for any enthusiast
