Bust Of A Cherub In Carrara Marble. Italy, Early 17th Century, Circa 1600
Italy, early 17thcentury, circa 1600.
Height: 35 cm — with base: 47 cm
A delightful cherub bust carved from white Carrara marble, depicting a young child with a gentle face and wings delicately folded across the front of the torso. The subtle modeling of the features, the precision of the wings, and the quality of the carving link this work to the Italian workshops of the early Baroque period, particularly those of Stefano Maderno, renowned for their angelic figures and altar putti.
Probably intended for a religious setting, this cherub captivates with the purity of its execution and the timeless elegance of its expression. Presented on a modern black metal base, it fits easily into both contemporary and classical interiors, offering a refined and luminous decorative presence.
