Description from the seller

Gladiator Foot – Historical plaster cast – 20th century

Suggestive sculptural fragment in plaster depicting a gladiator's foot, drawn from a historical cast inspired by classical sculpture. The work belongs to the tradition of academic casts used in art schools and sculpture studios for anatomy study and modeling.

The foot, rendered with notable plasticity and attention to volumes, highlights the muscular tension and strength typical of the gladiator figure. The surface preserves the natural materiality of the plaster, with a patina that enhances its authentic and historical character.

Thanks to its size and strong plastic presence, the fragment represents an elegant decorative element for artists' studios, libraries, collections of classical art, or environments with an archaeological and contemporary taste.

The work shows physiological signs of time, small flaws and light wear compatible with age and with its original purpose as a study cast, elements that attest to its authenticity.

Dimensions:

Height: 25 cm
Length: 22 cm
Width: 9 cm

Conditions:
Good overall condition, with normal signs of time and use. Please carefully observe the photographs, integral part of the description.

Shipping:
The lot will be carefully packed with professional materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.
