1056 - The Young Drummer Boy. European School. 19th century.

The Young Drummer Boy. European School. 19th century. Patinated bronze on a green marble base. Dimensions: 30 x 10 x 10 cm. The figure of a cherub is depicted in a dynamic pose, holding a drum in one hand and a drumstick in the other, in the midst of musical performance. The modeling of the curls, wings, and face reveals delicate craftsmanship, while the light posture and compositional rhythm lend the work a sense of movement. The contrast between the dark bronze and the polished marble underscores the refinement of the ensemble. This piece embodies the grace and playful spirit of 19th-century European decorative sculpture, influenced by the late Neoclassical style.
