Games of Antiquity/ The eternal winner/ Athens 1896/ Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1962) Aerial subject of the victorious athlete seated on his huge black pedestal, as if in 7th heaven. Palm brandished in right hand, the king is not his cousin. The pedestal (onyx?) is a find (28.7x16x12), and the whole is impressive. Beautiful green patina. In fact, the ancestor of the podium, with a giant UN. Signed on the base. 61 x 13 cm A few small chips.
