Pair of decorative sculptures representing putti or allegorical boys, modeled nude, with curly hair, raised arms and one crossed leg, in a dynamic composition of classical inspiration. Each figure rests on a circular, dome-shaped base. Executed in cast iron, they present neoclassical modeling with Baroque influence, typical of European decoration of gardens, entrances, terraces and historicist interiors. The surfaces preserve an expressive reddish-brown patina, with generalized oxidation, pitting, stains, wear and small irregularities in casting. The constructive joints and fixings between the figures and the bases are visible. Some fingers show wear or small losses. No signatures or casting marks were found. Number of pieces: 2. Theme: putti / allegorical dancing boys. Material: cast iron. Style: neoclassical with neo-Baroque influence. Probable period: late 19th century - 1880-1920. Probable origin: Western Europe, possibly England or France. Dimensions of each figure: 53 × 20 × 15 cm. Color: rust-brown. Condition: good structural condition, with oxidation and wear consistent with outdoor use. See less
