Hand-crafted figural group in raw terra cotta, fired to a dark gray bisque. The surface layers of laurels and combed, textured surfaces. Hand-worked study, which is a unique piece from the studio, signed into the wet clay and marked Paris.
The group itself is a studio composition or study to produce. Music stands with the mandolin, and his companion reads the notes of music from the volume in their lap. All are wonderful putti who are always busy with some endeavor of higher purpose. Classic 18th-century beauty. See less
