A striking and highly expressive figural sculpture depicting a reclining warrior in a moment of tension and movement, after the iconic Art Deco model known as “The Gladiator” by Jean de Roncourt.
The composition captures the figure bracing himself with one arm while raising a shield overhead, creating a powerful diagonal line and strong sense of motion. The anatomy is well articulated, with defined musculature and dynamic posture that emphasize strength and resilience.
This example bears an incised signature “J. de Roncourt” along the base, referencing the original sculptor. The piece is mounted on a black base and presents with a warm, aged patina throughout.
While inspired by the original 1930s Art Deco model, this example is a later casting, offering the same dramatic presence and sculptural quality at a more accessible scale.
A compelling decorative object for collectors of figurative sculpture, Art Deco design, or neoclassical-inspired interiors.

The sculpture displays a consistent patina throughout, with natural variation in tone that enhances its character. Minor surface wear is present, particularly along the extremities (hand, edges of the base), consistent with handling over time. The base shows light surface scuffs and faint marks visible under close inspection. No major structural damage, breaks, or repairs observed. Overall, the piece presents very well and is structurally sound. less
