A finely cast 19th century Grand Tour bronze depicting The Spinario (also known as The Thorn Puller), a classical Greco-Roman figure shown in a moment of quiet concentration as he removes a thorn from his foot. This iconic motif, drawn from antiquity, became a popular subject among Grand Tour collectors and was celebrated for its naturalistic pose and expressive gesture.
The figure is rendered with beautiful attention to anatomical detail and classical drapery, and it stands on an ebonized wood plinth that complements its dark patina. The base shows signs of wear and age, adding to the statue’s antique character.
An elegant neoclassical accent for a library, console, or collector’s shelf.
