Seated Child Crowned With Foliage, Antique Sculpture In Patinated Metal

A charming sculpture depicting a seated child, one arm outstretched and the other folded across the chest.

His smiling face, plump cheeks, and tousled hair, adorned with a wreath of foliage, give this figure a particularly endearing expression. The movement of the arms and the positioning of the legs lend a pleasant sense of vitality to the composition.

The free-form modeling and the irregularities of the cast contribute to the character of this small sculpture, whose surface features a dark patina with slightly greenish hues.

The presence of the wreath of foliage might suggest an allegorical figure, though it does not allow for certain identification. The child may originally have held an attribute that is now missing.

An antique piece, likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, subject to material analysis.

Patinated metal, possibly bronze, to be identified with certainty.

Presented on a stepped pedestal upholstered in powder-pink velvet, showing signs of wear.
