Elegant pair of decorative small sculptures of French manufacture, dating from the early 19th century, made of refined biscuit porcelain on a composite base of red marble and gilded bronze.
The figures, inspired by the iconographic repertoire of classical antiquity, depict two mythological characters: a draped female figure with a helmet, identifiable as Minerva/Athena, and an armed male figure with a shield, attributable to Mars/Ares. The modeling is fine and detailed, with particular attention to the drapery, anatomical proportions, and decorative elements, typical of French neoclassical production.
The biscuit porcelain, with its matte and velvety surface, enhances the purity of the forms and the delicacy of the faces, while the red marble bases, embellished with elegant finely chased gilded bronze frames, give solidity and prestige to the ensemble.
Objects of great charm and decorative value, ideal for enriching classical or eclectic environments, these sculptures represent a perfect example of early 19th-century neoclassical taste, combining formal harmony and artisanal quality.
A pair of great elegance, capable of lending character and refinement to any collection or room.
