THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL BATTLING LUCIFER
Fine cracks.
The item on offer is probably after an original composition by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, in short Raphael, entitled "The Archangel Michael" (1518), which is in the Louvre in Paris. A model-like group of figures made of ivory, although with slightly different details (the Archangel has a longer sword), was on offer at the Aguttes Auction House in September 2020 (22 September 2020, Lot No. 28). That sculpture was described as a Northern Italian work from the 19th century.
