Statuette, Putto con tamburello - 11 cm - Bronze, Marble

Bronze putto with tambourine on a marble base

Sculpture depicting a nude putto (cherub) in motion as he plays a tambourine raised above his head.

The figure displays a well-crafted sculptural rendering, with particular attention to anatomical details, the wavy hair, and the facial expression.

The bronze shows a brown-gold patina with traces of natural oxidation, typical of collectible bronzes of this kind.

The statuette rests on a circular base decorated with volute motifs, which in turn is fixed (via a threaded pin) to a veined white marble block, presumably added later as support/stand.

Subject: Musical putto with tambourine — a classical recurring theme in decorative art inspired by Baroque and Neoclassical styles (often linked to Bacchic or allegorical depictions of Music/Dance).

Material: Bronze (figure) on a marble base

Conditions: Good overall condition, consistent with the object's age. Natural bronze patina, oxidation visible on the fixing pin (see photo).
