Sculpture, Bambina - 28 cm - Patinated bronze

This bronze statue captures a moment of pure, carefree childhood. The figure portrays a happy, smiling girl in a dynamic pose as she triumphantly raises an apple toward the sky with her right hand.

Created in bronze, the sculpture features a rich dark patina and rests on a textured circular base. The attention to detail, from the light dress that seems to move with the girl's gesture to the expressive features of her face, gives it a strong aesthetic impact and a timeless style.

The figurine is probably a work dating from the period around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often associated with the Art Nouveau or Art Deco styles.
Bronze sculptures of children were popular in this era, with artists like Joseph D'Aste (1881-1945) and Vincenzo Cinque (1852-1929) creating similar works.
