Exquisite antique 19th Century gilt bronze sculpture of Hera/Juno shown in her garden holding a mirror and admiring herself as she holds her precious peacock that is standing on a water fountain. Juno was childless so she is always portrayed with her pet peacock. This is a very rare, lifelike, and beautiful sculpture depicting the wife of Jupiter. The bronze is inscribed H. LevaSeur on the side. She is beautifully sculptured and looks very much alive. The bronze measures 21-1/2 inches high to the top of the peacock's crest. The base measures 8 niches wide, 6 inches deep, and 1 inch high. The bronze is in excellent condition showing only moderate rubbing to the patina commensurate with age. Not only is this a beautiful sculpture, it is an extremely rare one guaranteed to please the most particular collector or connoisseur. (Item #73134)
