BRONZE PEDESTAL WITH GREEN PATINA. ESTIPITE WITH HERMS.

Green patinated bronze base. Stipe with herms. On a square base stands the foot of the stipe, decorated with vegetal and architectural motifs and lion's paws on which rises a scroll that ends in a bust of a young man. This same anthropomorphic element is repeated on the other side, and, between them, diamond blades and points complete the surfaces. The inverted truncated-pyramidal pilaster was widely used in the Spanish Baroque, with busts (called hermas) being added even then. In the present work, the classicist influence is undeniable.
