Description from the seller

This is a touching bronze sculpture titled 'Maternità,' created by the Neapolitan artist Antonio Merente (active between the late 19th and early 20th century).

The work depicts the bust of a young mother, holding her baby in her arms. The woman has her head covered with a veil, and her face is modeled with an expression of sweetness and tenderness as she affectionately gazes at the newborn. The baby, with curly hair, raises its arms towards the mother. The sculpture rests on an elegant stepped base made of cream-colored marble, which adds stability and contrasts with the dark patina of the bronze.
Hand-signed work by the artist, as shown in the photo.

Dimension: 33x19x18 cm

Good overall conservation condition, minor material defects due to the normal passage of time.
Please carefully observe the photographs as they are an integral part of the description; any defects are present in the photos.
Tracked shipment including secure packaging, any customs duties and taxes will be at the buyer's expense.
