A striking early 19th-century alabaster sculpture of a lion depicted in a powerful striding pose. The animal is sculpted with pronounced musculature and a richly textured mane, conveying strength, movement, and regal presence.
The carving reflects the neoclassical fascination with antique forms and heroic symbolism, frequently associated with lions as emblems of protection and authority.
The alabaster surface exhibits a beautifully preserved original age patina, with natural tonal variations, soft translucency, and gentle wear consistent with the period. These characteristics enhance the depth, authenticity, and decorative appeal of the piece.
Provenance:
Formerly in a European private collection; acquired 1920s on the Vienna antiques market (Austria). The object has been in Europe for several decades.
