Description

  • A Bronze figure of Mars
the standing nude figure with punched helmet and drapery in his left hand and a sword behind him in his right

Catalogue Note

Compositionally the influence of Prieur's Mercury, depicting a similarly nude helmeted figure with drapery falling forwards between the legs, is evident in the present bronze. The triangular base suggests it was intended as an andiron figure.
