Description

A white  bust of a youth, identified by web consensus as the Marathon Boy or Hermes, modelled after the Classical Greek antique. The figure is depicted with short, deeply textured curly hair and eyes cast slightly downwards in a serene, contemplative expression. The sculpture is of cast construction, showing some minor surface texture irregularities and small indentations consistent with the manufacturing process. The piece is mounted on a simple, black-painted rectangular plinth. No signatures, foundry marks, or edition numbers are visible on the item.

Dimensions not provided.


Condition report:

The piece appears to be in good overall condition. There are minor surface texture irregularities and small indentations present, which are consistent with the casting process. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are visible.
