A delightful bronze figurative statuette depicting a child with puppies , a 19th-century work that combines a tender, narrative subject with a high-quality rendering of the material. The child, rendered naturally and sweetly, interacts with the puppies in a harmonious composition that conveys a sense of innocence, playfulness, and family intimacy, typical of 19th-century figurative sculpture.
The bronze workmanship is well-defined, with meticulous details in the modeled surfaces: from the folds of the fabrics to the depictions of the small animals, each element displays precision and artisanal quality. The bronze's natural patina adds chromatic depth and visual richness, enhancing the volumes and creating a pleasing sculptural dynamism from every angle.
This figurine is perfect for displaying as a central decorative element on consoles, shelves, coffee tables, or in fine display cases, where it can enhance classic, modern classic, or eclectic interiors with a touch of intimacy and figurative narrative. The choice of a childlike subject with puppies lends it an emotional appeal that makes it suitable for intimate, family settings.
The work is in excellent overall condition , with well-preserved bronze, consistent patina and sharp details, ready to be enhanced.
