Each finely chiseled figure depicts a young putto kneeling, his torso slightly turned, in a lively and graceful pose. The delicately modeled facial features and curly hair attest to particularly meticulous sculpting. The drapery, rendered with fluidity, adds a note of movement and softness to the whole.
The putti rest on sturdy black marble pedestals. A gilded beadwork highlights the center of each base, adding a touch of preciousness and a striking luminous contrast. These distinctive decorative bronzes will form a harmonious pair on a console table, desk, or in a display case, appealing to lovers of 19th-century objets d'art as well as collectors of classically inspired sculptures.
