Antique plaster relief of a reclining classical figure, finished with a natural calcite patina. Over time, mineral rich water has deposited a thin layer of calcite across the surface which gives it a soft stone like feel and a unique aged texture.
Likely late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Fine detailing in the drapery, trees, and figure. A beautiful decorative piece with real character.
Set in an oval frame with a warm timber finish, the piece has strong depth and texture that echo antique Grand Tour studies. A decorative classical work with real presence.
