Bust Cossack. Russia. 1909.
sia antion, riga, latvia
Plaster, bronze, bust portrait of a Cossack. 1909 year. H-62 cm. A bust of highly artistic modeling, demonstrates a psychological portrait of a Cossack in a fur hat and gazyry. Buttoned tightly, ceremoniously facing the viewer in the front. The chin is proudly raised, but the look of tired and intelligent eyes is lowered and immersed in itself, as if in fate. Dramatic sculpting of a hat and a slight turn of the head create an amazing, piercing depth of the image; passions of doubt, obedience to purpose. The work has a high artistic value. Signed and dated 1909 on the back in the lower right corner. Width: 55cm, Height: 62cm, Depth: 35cm, Weight: 12kg, Condition: Signs of wear commensurate with age, Material: Bronzing, ID: 3050

Important Marble Group After The Antique The Wrestlers
sia antion, riga, latvia

The modeling of the work, deliberately excessive, helps to convey the virulence of the struggle. Note, part of a finger missing and restored by our workshop. Very high quality of execution. The ancient marble group from which this bronze is inspired was discovered in 1583 near Porta San Giovanni in Rome. In June of the same year, the group was purchased by Cardinal Ferdinand de Medici, future Grand Duke of Tuscany, and is kept in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
