Charming bronze sculpture of fine workmanship, depicting a military figure in period uniform. The work is an excellent example of 20th-century Italian metal craftsmanship, made by the historic Fonderia Laganà of Naples, a signature known for its attention to detail and quality castings. The soldier is depicted with a proud expression and minute details in the uniform. The sculpture rests on an elegant and imposing base made of Verde Alpi marble, which gives the object stability and a highly refined color contrast. A piece with great stage presence, ideal for furnishing professional offices, bookcases, or as a centerpiece in collections of military art and period bronzes.
