Late 19th Century Large Grand Tour Bronze Figure of 'The Dying Gaul' on Marble Base, After the Antique

A large late 19th century (circa 1870) Grand Tour bronze figure of 'The Dying Gaul' supported on original Breccia rossa oval marble base, after the antique, possibly Italian.

The Dying Gaul or Dying Gladiator is depicted in his final moments next to his shield and sword, his face in pain with a fatal wound to his chest.

The original marble figure which is found in the Capitoline Museum in Rome is a Roman copy of a Greek sculpture thought to have been in bronze.

This bronze is in very good original condition and can go straight into a home or collection.
