AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A **white glazed porcelain sculpture** depicting **two putti** (infantile figures of classical inspiration) in an intimate and playful scene. The two children are **semi-reclined and embracing**, with their soft, smooth bodies intertwining. They wear **crowns and grape clusters**, a clear symbolic reference to the **Bacchic** world (Bacchus/Dionysus), associated with nature, abundance, and vitality.

At the base of the composition appear **grape clusters and leaves**, carefully crafted decoratively, which reinforce the rural theme. The glossy surface of the porcelain emphasizes the volumes and curves, while the uniform white color gives it an **elegant and neoclassical** appearance. The work has a decorative character, typical of **interior statuary** from the nineteenth century or of revival taste, designed to be displayed as an ornamental object.
