Gilt bronze sculpture, 19th century - Refined gilt bronze sculpture depicting a putto (or cupid) captured in a dynamic, plastic pose. The figure, characterized by a soft and lively anatomical rendering, is represented with outstretched arms and spread wings, suggesting a movement of ascent or flight. The body is partially encircled by a light drapery that wraps around the hips, rendered with sculptural expertise. The gilding presents a pleasant luster, with slight signs of time that attest to its age and enhance its patina. The work rests on a cylindrical stepped pedestal in gilt bronze, with an essential and modern line, which elongates the figure ensuring stability.
