Description
Pair of Cherubs, European School, 18th century Polychrome terracotta. Dimensions: 52 x 18 x 17 cm. A sculptural pair of nude children depicted in a dynamic and playful pose, both with one arm raised and their torsos slightly turned, creating a composition of great gestural spontaneity. The children’s forms display soft volumes and rounded modelling, accentuated by the delicate polychromy of ivory and pink tones that lend naturalism and decorative sensitivity. The faces display serene expressions and a certain naivety characteristic of 18th-century European ornamental sculpture. The composition reflects influences from the late Baroque and the Rococo taste for children and allegorical figures intended for palatial or religious decorative settings. The modelling of the limbs and the subtlety of the surfaces reveal refined and balanced craftsmanship. The ensemble stands out for its stage presence, compositional dynamism and the ornamental elegance typical of 18th-century decorative sculpture. 52 x 18 x 17 cm.
