Hebe or Young Naked Woman at The Fountain, Terracotta By Goldsheider, XIX Eme Century.
Superb patinated terracotta from the Goldsheider factories dating from the 2nd half of the XIX th century and representing a young naked woman at the fountain in the neoclassical spirit.
our terracotta is therefore inspired by antiquity in a neoclassical spirit and is reminiscent of Hebe the goddess of youth often represented in this way, naked with a jug and serving her father metamorphosed into an eagle.
vigor and beauty of youth, she is just dressed in an animal skin and holds a jug, near a stone fountain adorned with a lion's muzzle and whose receptacle is a clam shell.
is superb and very well composed, it rests on a round terrace simulating a flowerbed. the terracotta is signed, numbered (256?) and stamped with various stamps including that of Goldsheider and that of Vienna.
Excellent general condition, a restoration on the handle of the jug, and one at the neck of the stoup, almost invisible.
a very beautiful high quality terracotta in the neoclassical style, superb patina, a very beautiful Hebe.
