Elegant white marble bust, supported by a circular base in turned marble. The bust represents a young charioteer, portrayed with a serene expression, and with a face framed by curly and voluminous hair. The chiton, the traditional tunic worn by charioteers, is also partially visible, which highlights its graceful bearing. Made in Tuscany, the bust clearly reflects the distinctive features of the Directory era, placing it in an artistic period ranging from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. The workmanship is of the highest quality, with refined details and particular attention to facial expressions and the rendering of the drapery. An element of further interest is found on the back of the bust, where there is an inscription which, dated to 1878, testifies to a gift that this splendid sculpture was the subject of. With its elegance and delicacy, this bust is not only a work of art, but also a piece of furniture capable of enriching any environment, conferring a touch of class and refinement.
