This expressive figurative sculpture is “La Tamborella” (1907) by Italian sculptor Gabriele Parente, a refined example of early 20th-century European decorative sculpture with strong Art Nouveau and Belle Époque influences.
The figure depicts a young woman holding a tambourine, captured in a lyrical, introspective pose with softly modeled features and flowing drapery. Parente’s sensitivity to gesture and movement is evident in the natural stance and delicate facial expression, characteristic of his work from the early 1900s.
The sculpture is cast in bronze (or spelter with bronze patina, typical of Parente’s editions) and mounted on a substantial polished onyx base, a classic presentation method used in French and Italian decorative arts of the period. The surface shows rich, authentic patination with subtle verdigris, enhancing the depth and historical presence of the piece.
This work is ideal for collectors of signed European sculpture, Art Nouveau figurative works, and early 20th-century Italian decorative arts.
