GRANDE STATUETTE D’EPHÈBE Dans le style des productions béotiennes Terre-cuite H. : 34 cm Provenance Paris, collection privée, acquis en vente publique à Paris en 2018 Le type figuratif représente un jeune pré-pubère avec une musculature légèrement articulée, avec une courbe en S sinueuse traversant le torse de la figure. L’absence de poils, tant sur le visage que dans la région pubienne, désigne ces figurines comme pré-pubères. La tête est surmontée d’un impressionnant éventail de boucles couronnées par une coiffe ornée. Dans sa main gauche, il tient un coq. L’abondance de cheveux sur la tête contraste avec la région génitale lisse. Bien que l’émergence d’une figure similaire dans l’art grec soit traditionnellement attribuée au sculpteur du Ive siècle Praxitèle d’Athènes, les archives archéologiques montrent que le type est apparu au Ve siècle dans l’art coroplastique de Béotie. Très bon état. IN THE BOEOTIAN STYLE A LARGE TERRACOTTA FIGURE OF A SOFT YOUTH WITH ROOSTER 133/8 in. High. The figural type represents a youth with softly articulated musculature, with a sinuous s-curve running through the figure’s torso. Hairlessness, both on the face and in the pubic point, designates these figurines as pre-pubescent.The head is surmounted by an impressive array of curls crowned by an ornate headdress. In his left hand he holds a rooster.The abundance of hair on the head contrasts with the smooth genital region.While the emergence of a similare figure in Greek art is traditionally attributed to the fourth century sculptor Praxiteles of Athens, the archaeological record shows that the type appeared in the fifth century in the coroplastic art of Boeotia.Very good condition.
