Crafted in France circa 1920, the composition features a young putto crowned with roses beside a curly-haired companion holding a flower, both rendered with expressive faces and rounded childlike forms inspired by classical garden statuary.
The sculptural group stands atop its original square pedestal adorned with molded panel decoration and a weathered painted finish. Rich in romantic movement and decorative detail, the figures display beautifully sculpted curls, soft drapery, and naturalistic poses that evoke the timeless spirit of European garden ornamentation. The cast stone surface has developed a wonderful aged patina with traces of mossy discoloration and surface weathering consistent with outdoor exposure and age.
This antique garden sculpture would make an elegant focal point in a landscape, courtyard, or interior atrium, bringing a touch of French classical charm to both traditional and contemporary settings. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
