Description from the seller
This figure represents Hamlet contemplating a skull, a famous sculpture in spelter or bronze that captures the iconic passage from William Shakespeare’s play.
The piece depicts the Prince of Denmark in a reflective, melancholy pose, leaning against a classical column while holding the skull of Yorick the jester during his famous soliloquy on mortality. This traditional design is usually mounted on a veined marble base or plinth.
This specific 25 cm-tall version mounted on a marble base matches French desk models manufactured in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
