Marble Sculpture "nymph Leaning Against A Spring, Playing The Double Flute," 78 Cm
Italian school, late 19th century / first half of the 20th century
“Nymph leaning against a spring, playing the double flute”
Carrara marble sculpture
Bears a signature on the back, possibly apocryphal, by CarloPittaluga.
(minor chips at the ends of the double flute)Height 78 cm x width 30 cm x depth 21 cm approx.
- €4,600 -
The sculptor CarloPittaluga (1880–1970) specialized in female figures, blending theneoclassical tradition with a great tenderness and sensuality thatis expressed in the rendering of the clothing that clings to thisdiaphanous-looking body. His works, highly prized during the Art Nouveau period, are alwayscrafted from white Carrara marble, a guarantee of unique quality and purity.
A similar piece inalabaster, featuring a double metal flute, is described as likely 19th-century and is currentlyfor sale at the Martynnof Gallery, Marché Biron in Saint-Ouen, which raises questions aboutPittaluga’s signature.
In any case, thequality and delicacy of this sculpture make it a typical example ofthe late 19th / first half of the 20th century
