The Wrestlers

Bronze sculpture, neoclassical period, (late 18th early 19th century), cm 19.2 x 8.5 x 6

A pair of young women with statuesque physiques face each other in a wrestling match.
The bodies searching for a point of balance, the feet firmly planted on the ground, the arms expertly intertwined, the gazes concentrated on trying to understand what the opponent's next move might be.
The theme of female wrestling has rarely been addressed in ancient art, the best-known example, in the subject of bronze statuary, is certainly the small bronze from the second half of the 17th century attributed to Ferdinando Tacca and kept in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore
In the subject of our bronze, it is worth highlighting the great executive quality and the particular attention to detail found in the refinement of the faces, in that of the hair and in the attention paid to posture and movement.
The absolute rarity of the subject matter makes it truly exclusive to be able to include bronzes of this type in your collection.

The work, like all our other objects, will be sold with a certificate of authenticity.

We personally take care of and organize the packaging and shipping of our works of art, with insurance, all over the world.

The gallery will take care of the bureaucratic and economic aspects of the matter.
