<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 12600600, member: 91417&quot;]As you probably know, it is a reproduction of the <i>Laocoon</i> in the Vatican Museum with the father&#039;s outstretched outstretched arm &amp; the son&#039;s arms added in the Renaissance restoration.&nbsp; Today, Laocoon&#039;s original bent arm has replaced the outstretched one, and the son&#039;s 16th century arms have been removed.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laoco%C3%B6n_and_His_Sons" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laoco%C3%B6n_and_His_Sons" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laocoön_and_His_Sons</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, I have no idea when &quot;your&quot; statuette was created (except probably before 1957, when the bent arm replaced the outstretched one) or financial value.&nbsp; Numerous copies &amp; variants in many media have been created.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has absolutely nothing to do with yours, but here is a modern version. Years ago, I was in the Knoxville Museum of Art, looking at paintings in the next room &amp; only caught a brief corner-of-the-eye glimpse of this sculpture, but my impression was that it was a small repro of the Vatican Laocoon.&nbsp; When I actually looked at it, it was a totally abstract sculpture by Julie Conn, and (yes) it was entitled <i>Laocoon</i>.&nbsp; [Sorry, I cannot get the umlaut to work here.] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://knoxart.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/59034F81-3EA9-4F00-964A-199305597524" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://knoxart.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/59034F81-3EA9-4F00-964A-199305597524" rel="nofollow">https://knoxart.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/59034F81-3EA9-4F00-964A-199305597524</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
