"Putti, Carved Wooden Cherubs From The Baroque Period "
Rare sculpted group representing two dancing baroque putti, in carved wood. These cherubs with plump bodies, captured in a lively and graceful movement, embody all the dynamism and sensuality specific to the baroque aesthetic. The posture of the figures evokes an Italian or Spanish origin, typical of the 17th or early 18th century. The piece has a beautiful old patina. It testifies to a rich liturgical past - probably from an altarpiece or church decoration.
