Gaul - Dying Gladiator
The first Dying Gladiator (Gaul) was seen in the Ludovici Collection in 1623, today the original is in the Capitoline Museum. It is age, size and casting quality that are needed to see before purchase this sculpture in over $1500, also a greenish patina will add appeal. If it has a Collas stamp this means that it was part of a long production run by Barbedienne in many sizes.
