GINO LAPINI | Young Poseidon Riding a Seahorse

The marble is overall in very good condition. The proper right end to the sea monster's tail is a marble replacement and the tip of the left end is reattached. There is a prominent natural vein running down the boy's proper left thigh. There are some inclusions on his cheek and orange discolouration on his nose. The sea monster has two original holes which may have been for horns now missing. The end of the monster's left ear is restored. Otherwise there is minor surface dirt.
