A 19th-century patinated bronze figure of the Berlin Adorante, or Praying Boy. The piece is a reduction of the Hellenistic-era original, currently in the Altes Museum in Berlin, by Lysippos or his circle. It depicts a boy standing on his left foot, the right leg gracefully bending and his arms raised with the palms facing upwards. Signed “F. Barbedienne. Fondeur,” the work is a gentle idyll in perfect condition.
Measures: 570 x 215 x 210 mm.
