Rare Bronze Of A Young Naked Man Playing Dice, 19th Century

Bronze Young Man Playing Dice, Signed Otto, 19th Century.
Very beautiful bronze of antique inspiration representing a young man playing dice.
This beautiful and rare bronze from the 19th century is reminiscent of statues of players of dice from antiquity.
here the player appears to us in the guise of a naked young man sitting on a rock preparing to throw a die on an entablature.
he seems to be in full swing and four dice are already on the table.
he seems concentrated and very attentive to his game.
the sculptor was able to give movement, momentum to the young man busy playing while fixing his gaze on this die that he is about to throw.
beautiful proportions for this bronze, the medal-colored patina is slightly greenish and the casting as well as the carving are of very good quality of execution.
work from the second half of the 19th century, signed Otto on the base at the back with a foundry stamp, difficult to read probably Rasmussen...
a bronze from a German or Eastern school that I had neveu encountered before.
the underside of the bronze allows for very good quality car interior and assembly.
a fun detail: traces of collection labels inside the bronze, look closely at the photos.

a very beautiful bronze of a young man playing dice inspired by antiquity.
