Description from the seller

Portrait of a Child in Alabaster – Italy
Delicate sculptural portrait depicting a young boy, made in alabaster and datable to the 19th century, of Italian production. The work stands out for the elegance of the modeling and for the extraordinary material quality: the alabaster, finely worked, yields a natural transparency that gives depth and softness to the volumes, enhancing the gentle features of the face and the light drapery of the garment.

The subject is represented with the head reclined and hands supporting the face, in a contemplative and poetic attitude, enriched by the presence of the wide-brimmed hat that harmoniously frames the figure. The rendering of the hair and the anatomical details reveals meticulous and sensitive workmanship, typical of 19th-century decorative production.

The sculpture rests on a turned base, also alabaster, perfectly proportioned and coherent with the whole, making the piece ideal both as a standalone decorative element and when placed in classical contexts, on bookshelves, consoles or in elegant environments.

Two small restorations to the base are noted, as visible in the photo, discreet interventions that do not in any way compromise the visual harmony or the stability of the work, which overall presents in excellent conservational condition.

Dimensions: 16.5 x 9.5 x 11 cm.

The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to professionals in the field.
