Head Of A Cherub, Carved Polychrome Fruitwood On A Marbled Paper Base, Signed Bovio, Italy, 20th Century
Artist: Bovio
This charming sculpture of a cherub's head, from Italy in the early 20th century, is a striking piece. Signed Bovio, it is mounted on a wooden cube covered with marbled paper, with the signature clearly visible and framed. Of a considerable size, this beautiful "putti" head is carefully sculpted and beautifully smoothed, expressive and decorative, with soft polychromy. This delightful piece, in the spirit of the 18th century, is well-made and a true curiosity from the 1950s. In very good condition and highly decorative, the combination of paper and painted wood is particularly effective. The lovely patina adds to the sculpture's beauty, enhancing its soft colors. A decoration worthy of a fine "cabinet of curiosities," it is certainly worth a look and quite captivating.
