The sculpture depicts the ancient poet Virgil – a prominent figure in Roman culture. The figure is shown in classical draped clothing, holding a scroll, symbolizing knowledge, literary heritage, and wisdom.

The composition is distinguished by harmonious proportions, plastic forms, and restrained emotionality, characteristic of classical art. The image has a distinctly intellectual and philosophical character.

Crafted using artistic bronze casting with subsequent hand finishing. Details are hand-worked using modeling and engraving techniques, ensuring precise rendering of form and character. The surface is treated with patination to create color depth and emphasize the material's texture. The final finish ensures aesthetic completeness and durability of the product.

This sculpture is based on a model by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and reproduces the image of Virgil in a classical artistic interpretation. The piece has artistic, decorative, and collectible value. Hand finishing ensures the individual characteristics of each piece.
