This iconic Renaissance subject is portrayed in his famous contemplative pose, symbolizing intellect, strength, and noble restraint. The sculpture beautifully captures the power and quiet intensity of Michelangelo’s original masterpiece, rendered here with excellent depth, anatomical sensitivity, and richly detailed drapery and armor.

The bronze features a deep, dark patina with warm undertones and retains strong definition throughout. It is signed in the cast “R. Lion Sauvage” along the base, consistent with quality Continental bronze production of the 19th century and the Grand Tour tradition. The sculpture is mounted on its original integral base and presents with an elegant and commanding presence, ideal for a study, library, office, or refined interior.

This is a distinguished decorative and collectible object — highly desirable to collectors of Grand Tour bronzes, Renaissance-inspired works, and serious classical sculpture.
