Sculpture, Scugnizzo - 30 cm - Bronze, Marble

This exquisite bronze bust captures a joyful, uplifted expression typical of late nineteenth- to early twentieth-century figurative sculpture. Mounted on a formal base, it is an accent piece that adds a touch of academic elegance and emotional storytelling.

Style and Material Details

Subject and Expression: The sculpture depicts the bust of a boy (or putto) with an ecstatic expression, with the gaze turned upward and a hint of a smile. The head is slightly covered by a drapery or soft headdress, and he wears a necklace with a crucifix or medallion. A mantle rests on the shoulder.
Bronze Casting: Executed using the bronze casting technique or metal, the bust features a dark bronzed patinated finish that highlights its emotional details and the softness of the features.
Prestige Base: The bust is mounted on a pedestal or turned marble column, characterized by a dark green veined color (black marble or antique green). The base elevates the sculpture, imparting formality and a sophisticated material contrast.
Portability: The compact dimensions (about 30 cm in total height) and a weight of 3 kg make it ideal for display on a desk, a shelf, or in a showcase.
Recommended Uses

Accent Sculpture: Perfect for living rooms, studies, or offices in classic, eclectic, or academic style.
