Bust, Antinoo - 40 cm - Marble

Sculpture depicting the bust of the young Antinous, made of Carrara white marble characterized by an extremely fine and uniform grain. The work, directly inspired by archaeological models from the Adriatic period rediscovered and celebrated between the late 18th and 19th centuries, is an excellent example of Neoclassical workmanship, in excellent overall condition. The marble preserves a pleasant, warm, uniform patina of age, with no visible cracks or breaks. The piece comes from a private family collection, passed down from generation to generation following a historic purchase made by the early collectors. To ensure the complete integrity of the artwork during transport, the sculpture will be shipped inside a custom-made wooden crate, fitted with protective packaging and cushioning materials specifically designed for marble works, ensuring maximum protection from any shock or stress.
