Poised in stillness and strength, this vintage Alexander Backer sculpture is a molded reproduction of the famed ancient Roman piece known as The Dying Gaul. Crafted from painted plaster with a weathered finish, the figure captures a Gallic warrior in his final moments—wounded, noble, and profoundly human.
Time has lent this piece a soulful patina: beautiful crazing, soft discoloration, and fine surface cracks intentionally designed to echo the wear of centuries past. A striking addition to shelves, mantels, or a thoughtfully styled vignette, it carries with it the weight and wonder of classical antiquity.
Measures approximately 11" long x 6" wide.
Condition: In good vintage condition with light surface wear and timeworn details throughout. All aging elements are original to the design and add to its aged, old-world charm.
