The subject is Hippolyta, the legendary Queen of the Amazons and one of the fiercest female warriors in Greek mythology. Though myth often describes her as single-breasted to facilitate archery, she is portrayed here in the classical artistic tradition with her womanly attributes intact, celebrating the duality of strength and sensuality. Atop her head, she wears the crescent moon of Diana the Huntress, the goddess who was both her protector and spiritual guide—a symbol of the divine feminine and wild independence.
This remarkable piece is 100% bronze, hand-cast using the revered "Lost Wax Method" to ensure every detail is preserved with precision. It features a rich brown patina that enhances the sculptural depth and realism. Mounted on a solid black marble base, it commands attention in any setting. The piece is signed R. Leger, marking its quality and adding to its value as a museum-quality collectible sculpture that honors myth, beauty, and strength.
