66 - Winged Cupid in Carved Alabaster – Decorative Sculpture, Late 19th Century

Winged Cupid in Carved Alabaster – Decorative Sculpture, Late 19th Century A charming alabaster sculpture depicting a winged Cupid, portrayed as a young child with curly hair, seated on a rock and resting on a molded architectural base. The figure, in a graceful and meditative pose, tilts his head slightly and brings his hands to his chest. His large, finely sculpted wings, spread wide, lend lightness and movement to the composition. The piece is distinguished by the softness of its modeling, the delicacy of the facial features, and the subtle rendering of the feathers. A decorative work in the Romantic and Neoclassical style of the late 19th century. Condition: Good overall condition; one wing has been restored; slight signs of wear and marks of age. Dimensions and weight: H. 35 × W. 22 × D. 14 cm – 7.400 kg.
