Estimate €900 - €1,500
Description
Boy with bird in marble nest, Italy - 19th century. Alabaster. Measures 40 x 30 x 31 cm. Nude child figure, seated and slightly leaning forward, with head turned and gaze lowered towards a bird perched in a large, enveloping nest. The hair is rendered in abundant, delicate curls, and the gentle expression of the face, combined with the folded position of the arms, accentuates the intimate and tender tone of the scene. The composition focuses all attention on the dialogue between the child and the bird, achieved with soft modeling and a light, delicate-looking surface.
