Description from the seller
Remarkable patinated bronze sculpture representing Themis (Greek mythology) or Justitia (Roman mythology), allegorical goddess of Justice, one of the most emblematic figures of classical and contemporary statuary, present in the courts of law around the world.
The figure is rendered with great finesse of execution and exemplary attention to detail. The blindfolded eyes — symbol of the impartiality of justice — the delicate and serene face, the goddess holds in one raised hand a metal balance with its finely wrought chains, and in the other a sword pointed downward, symbol of the power to judge and punish. She treads on a serpent coiled at her base, symbol of evil and injustice conquered. Her draped garment, adorned with engraved motifs on the bodice, is treated with soft and elegant modeling. The base bears a founder’s signature.
The balance is a metal accessory with its chains, adding a beautiful touch of realism and refinement to the whole.
The sculpture rests on a molded bronze plinth set on a veined black marble base.
Material: Patinated bronze with brown-copper tones, balance in metal with chains
Base: Molded bronze on veined black marble
Style: Classic / Allegorical
Theme: Themis / Justitia – Justice, Law, Allegory
Signature: Present on the base (foundry)
Type: Decorative reproduction
Condition: Very good condition
