Sculpture, Ancient sculpture of a Roman emperor - Napoleon likeness - 178 cm (1) - Neoclassical - Marble - 19th century

Beautiful and rare antique solid sculpture made of Carrara marble, in full scale, perhaps representing a Roman emperor with the appearance of Napoleon Bonaparte. A great work of Neoclassical art, dating back to the 19th century, handmade and finely crafted in the round. A great and important collector’s item, very hard to find. Considering its age, it is in good condition; there are clear signs of previous restorations. Missing parts on the hands and part of the hairstyle. (See the photos.)
