Head of young Bacchus, classical sculpture in white marble

Exquisite sculpture meticulously carved from fine Italian white marble, depicting the head of a young Bacchus, the Roman deity revered for his connection with wine, the grape harvest and the pleasures of the senses. Created in the first half of the 20th century, this work captures the enduring appeal of Bacchus. Characterized by meticulous attention to detail in facial features and proportions, which reveal a profound mastery of sculptural techniques. Although the work is unsigned, its craftsmanship is evident and speaks for itself. A thin blue line visible under the chin (as per attached photos). This slight imperfection is located in an area that remains in shadow when exposed. Accompanied by a black marble base. Price negotiable.
