Elegant pair of decorative figurines of French manufacture, dating from the early 19th century, made of fine 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 a male figure armed 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 opaque and velvety surface, enhances the purity of the forms and the delicacy of the faces, while the red marble bases, embellished with elegant finely chiseled gilded bronze frames, lend solidity and prestige to the ensemble.
Objects of great charm and decorative value, ideal for enriching classic or eclectic environments, these sculptures represent a perfect example of early 12th-century neoclassical taste, combining formal harmony and artisanal quality.
A pair of great elegance, capable of giving character and refinement to any collection or environment.
