Originals in this selection, Statue, Unspecified, 2,000 to 5,000 euro.
A figure without a label
A statue needs no style name to make its effect. Statues for sale between 2,000 and 5,000 euro are best judged by what you can see: posture, proportion and the way the material was worked.
Standing, seated, reclining or merely hinted at: a statue gathers gaze and bodily sense into a single moment. When it follows no movement, you often find a very personal handwriting. Features can be fine or coarse, hands large or gone, the stance calm or taut.

Size and location
In this price band statues often stand on plinths or straight on the floor and demand presence. A hallway, a niche or a window wall with an open background brings out the silhouette. Dark figures read especially clearly against pale walls.
Security when buying
Check weight, center of gravity and footing before the figure finds its place. The listing should name material, dimensions, condition and any repairs. A signature, noted on the base or the back, belongs to a complete piece.
