AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid vintage artistic porcelain sculpture in the Capodimonte style, designed by the renowned Italian sculptor Auro Belcari.
The piece depicts a refined and romantic period courting scene, in which a gentleman in aristocratic attire courts a lady reclining elegantly on an emerald-green tufted sofa.
The entire piece stands out for its wealth of exceptionally skillfully modeled details and delicate hand-painted pastel and ivory tones—hallmarks of prestigious Tuscan art production of the period.
The sculpture's value and authenticity are attested by the original marks stamped directly onto the porcelain. On the front of the base is a porcelain cartouche bearing the engraved signature of the artist, A. Belcari, while on the back of the platform is the famous crowned N symbol, a historic mark of the Capodimonte tradition.
Directly beneath the crown, the original engraving is also clearly visible, giving the exact date of December 1983. Finally, the composition is enhanced and supported by an elegant, shaped and polished wooden base, lending the entire piece stability and presence.
