By a Roman artist of the late 19th century, these works in Carrara marble depict a young pair of putti, and make a wonderful pair of decorative sculptures.
Questions about this piece?
Carved from Carrara marble, these very fine sculptural figures of children, or putti, depict a young boy and girl, and deftly convey both the joy and delicacy of childish innocence, while also bearing allegorical and symbolic meaning.
By 'Ao. Stampanoni, Roma,' one is modelled as a young boy gleefully holding a coin purse, while the other is modelled as a young, more feminine figure, a girl in all likelihood, who stands wrapped in a cloak, drawing it around herself to keep out the cold - she symobolises Winter.
They are both signed, situated, and dated: 'Ao. Stampanoni, Roma, 1862,' and stand upon an oval and circular base respectively.
