"Pair Of Busts After The Antique Of Diana And Apollo"
A sublime pair of patinated plaster busts imitating marble, depicting Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Apollo, god of the arts, the sun, and light, based on ancient iconography. Each bust is distinguished by the finesse of its modeling, the realism of its features, and the serene expression of its faces. The finely worked hair reinforces the elegance of the profiles inspired by Greco-Roman statuary. They rest on magnificent turned wood bases with a veined reddish-brown patina, topped with a blackened flared collar, which superbly enhance the ensemble and add a touch of classical refinement.
