Terracotta sculptuur van een springend figuur, vermoedelijk Eros of een geest before 1857

Marcel Gustave Laverdet’s “Terracotta sculptuur van een springend figuur, vermoedelijk Eros of een geest" is a terracotta sculpture created before 1857, depicting a figure in mid-leap. The figure, potentially Eros or a spirit, is depicted in a dynamic pose, with arms outstretched and legs bent, creating a sense of motion and energy. While the figure is partially clothed, the exposed torso suggests a classical influence, evoking the imagery of Greek and Roman deities. The terracotta's surface exhibits a textured quality, hinting at the natural material and the artist's careful attention to detail. The sculpture, measuring 353 mm in height and 248 mm in width, offers a glimpse into Laverdet’s artistic practice and his interest in capturing the ephemeral moment of movement.
