Statue, 19th-Century French Terracotta Figure of an Allegorical Putto River God by Gaston Frères - 37 cm - Terracotta

A patinated terracotta sculpture of a reclining putto with a leaf wreath in his curly hair. He leans on a tipped water urn that pours into a small basin, on an oval base with reeds and drapery. In the Louis XV/XVI Clodion tradition. Probably French, second half of the 19th century (Napoléon III period). The underside has a central relief medallion and a handwritten inscription that looks like "Gossin Frères", a Paris maker of decorative terracotta, but this is not confirmed. Measures 37 x 47 x 17 cm. Please see all photos for the condition, including the toes, fingers, reeds and the urn rim.
