Description from the seller
This is a bas-relief (low-relief) in marble, set in an elegant gilded frame, probably from the 19th century or possibly the early 20th century. Depiction of a mythological scene. Strongly influenced by the neoclassical or Baroque style, very common in decorative arts of the 18th and 19th centuries.
This intriguing artwork is a marble relief with a richly decorated gilded frame, and shows a graceful scene of a young satyr with a flute-playing woman and an angelic figure (putto or cherub). The work exudes classical beauty and evokes associations with Renaissance and Baroque art, in which angels, putti and mythological tableaux often played a central role.
The round relief reveals in finely worked detail two figures lovingly entwined with each other as well as a young satyr. The soft curves, expressive faces and graceful details have been sculpted with great precision. The composition breathes a sense of playfulness, innocence and heavenly calm.
The surround is particularly rich: a gilded frame with Rococo-like elements such as acanthus leaves, shell motifs and floral ornaments. This gilded frame contrasts beautifully with the matte white marble of the relief, lending the work even more depth and elegance.
