Classical bronzed bust of Greek tragedian Sophocles

£340.00

Bronzed bust of the Greek tragedian Sophocles, after a 4th-century BCE Greek bronze original

A finely done plaster bust with a bronzed finish capturing the measured dignity of Sophocles, evoking the classical ideal of the tragedian immortalized in Hellenic portraiture. The work references a 4th-century BCE Greek bronze original, rendered with restrained realism: a broad forehead, deeply set eyes with a contemplative gaze, a full beard and mustache that frame a calm, authoritative mouth. Surface patination gives the bronze a warm, aged depth—burnt umber finish.

Perfect accent for a study, library, or entryway, this bust functions as both an object of scholarly resonance and quiet decorative presence, bridging ancient artistic tradition and contemporary interiors. Dimensions are 32cm tall.
