Delving into a Hellenistic marble sculpture at BRAFA 2024
Delve into antiquity when this gem, presented by Tobias Desmet of Desmet Gallery, was created!
Greek translucent marble was used to conjure up a small, seated Venus leaning towards her ankle where she ties her sandal.
Visit the BRAFA Art Fair until 4 February 2024 and be sure to visit second-generation family gallery Desmet, which focuses on classical sculpture in the broad sense, to behold this little treasure.
The BRAFA Art Fair takes place at Brussels Expo / Heysel. 132 exhibitors take part in this annual art event, showing artworks from antiquity to the present, covering 20 specialities from all over the world.

ABOUT
The Desmet Gallery is a second-generation family gallery, focusing on Classical Sculpture in the broad sense; i.e. from Antiquity to Neoclassicism, and specifically, sculpture from Ancient Rome, the Italian Renaissance and the Mannerist and Baroque period. The collection echoes the taste of the Grand Tour in the early 19th century: European sculpture from its cradle in the Greco-Roman period and every single revival and reinterpretation of this style up until 1850. The gallery is run by Tom Desmet and his son, Tobias. A combined experience of over 50 years.
Founded : 1980
