[what could justly be called / considered] [authentic] group sculptures
Explanation:
(This is tough.)

Try:

... authentic group structures. (Here authentic meaning: so close that it passes for the real McCoy.)

... what could justly be called group sculptures.
... what could justly be called authentic (real, actual) group sculptures.

Or "... we could justly call ..."
Or "... that deserve being called (viewed as, considered) [true] ..."
Or ",.. deserving of ..."

etc., etc.

None perfect, but not too bad.

Note: a group sculpture is not the same as a group of sculptures. Grupo escultório is the former.

Verdadeiros in this context has got nothing to do with real / realistic in the proper sense.
