Sculpture, Coppia leoni - 16 kg - 31 cm - Carrara marble.

Elegant sculptural pair inspired by the famous lions created by Antonio Canova for the Monument to Clement XIII in St. Peter's Basilica. The works depict the two iconic felines in complementary poses: the Sleeping Lion, laid out in a calm and composed posture, and the Vigilant Lion, alert and majestic. Both sculptures are made in reconstituted Carrara marble, with surfaces finely finished by hand, characterized by excellent attention to anatomical details and a soft rendering of volumes typical of Canova's language. The pair offers a strong aesthetic and decorative impact, ideal for prestigious interiors, scenographic entrances, or classical environments. Also suitable as a bookend. Measurements. Length 31 Width 12 cm Height 22 cm Weight 16 kg
