Description
Modeled in a standing pose, poised on one foot, nude except for a sash tied around his waist, with his right arm raised in the air and pointing to Jupiter, his left hand holding a caduceus, supported by a zephyr, on a truncated columnar pedestal adorned with bacchantes and putti, polished black marble base, unsigned. Height overall 33 3/4 inches.
Condition
there is a crack at opposite ends of the circular marble ring that is on top of the square marble base; although in two halves, the cracks appear to be tight and stable; typical wear and rubbing to the original patina, most extensively to areas such as the figure's chest and neck, less so in other areas such as the figure's arms, shoulders, high points, etc.; the patina is extremely dark, possibly as applied or else possibly due to soiling; patina now dulled in appearance; typical scattered scuffs and scratches, commensurate with age and handling; nicks to corner tips and rim edges of the square marble base, including a small shallow flake loss to the marble along the top flat side of one corner
