Large Sculpture Stand With Putti From The Early 20th Century

Superb and large plaster sculpture from the early 20th century. It represents two naked children, Putti type (cherubs or classic child figurines) back to back, entwined in a graceful and dynamic posture. This plaster work is painted and patinated to imitate bronze with a texture aged by time. The circular base and the column they partly support evoke the function of a stand or decorative support probably originally intended to carry a basin or a lamp or another decorative element. The whole is in classical style with a neo-baroque inspiration, the anatomical details are soft, the shapes round and expressive. The two figures are finely sculpted notably in the hair and the expression of the faces. Note a slight wear and small chips due to time. Decorative work of quality and in good condition.
