This classic “Putto with Frog” motif is highly desirable, with the design often associated with the celebrated American sculptor Edith Barretto Stevens Parsons, although this particular casting does not bear a visible signature in the photos. The material is heavy, solid cast bronze, as specified, which aligns with the non-magnetic observation and the subtle green-brown patina suggests significant age and outdoor use. The figure of the child (putto) is finely detailed, kneeling on a rock-form base and gently holding a frog, which acts as the spitter with a visible pipe opening at its mouth. This size—at just over 20 inches—makes it an ideal centerpiece for a small pond, pedestal fountain, or even as an interior decorative object. The condition is excellent, boasting a naturally aged and deep patina that adds character and depth. There are no chips or cracks, only the lovely surface wear that collectors covet in genuine outdoor bronze. H 20.5″, W 7″, D 7″ See less
