The chubby toddlers are stretching their arms towards the sky, their faces laughing, as if offering themselves to the summer sun. Each wearing a crown of laurels on their curly hair, one is almost lying down, the second is standing, one knee resting on the ears of corn. This representation rests on a bronze base with foliage and veins, all curved in the Rocaille style.
This carved group with a playful theme will bring brightness and elegance to the table on which you choose to place it.
