AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique bronze sculpture depicting a seated boy. By the Lombard sculptor Giovanni Busetti, active in Milan in the very first half of the 1900s. He is known for his monumental works at the Monumental Cemetery of Milan.
The work is an excellent example of genre sculpture, strongly influenced by the intimate realism of Lombard scapigliatura. The boy is captured in a spontaneous, gathered pose with his head tilted and his gaze focused on his hands. The modeling is tangible, rich in chiaroscuro contrasts that give vitality and softness to the figure.
The sculpture presents a fine dark patina with warm tones. On the rectangular base, clearly inscribed in italics is the artist's signature, Busetti. A perfect piece for 20th-century bronze collectors and for high-class interior impressions.
The statue measures 8.7 × 10.5 cm, is 22 cm tall and weighs 1450 grams.
Any customs duties will be charged to the buyer.
