A Continental Ensemble of a Mounted Parlor Sculpture, mid-19th Century composed of a bronze-patinated metal reduction of the "Dying Gaul", on an oval-topped verde antico pedestal with spiraling palmette flutes, overall height 61 in., width 32 in., depth 16 in. E2500-3500 Note: The larger-than-life-size prototype of this celebrated sculptural type is the famous marble figure in the Capitoline Museum, Rome, discovered in the Gardens of Sallust in the early 17th c. For almost 400 years it has been one of the most admired of all antiquities, and is now considered a Trajanic or Hadrianic copy of a Hellenistic bronze, dedicated by King Attalus of Pergamon (241-197 B.C.) to commemorate his victories over the Gauls.
