Description

Italian Grand Tour Style Bronze Model of a Child’s Hand / Putto Forearm
Brief Description:
Brief Description:
This is a charming and highly unusual miniature Italian Grand Tour style bronze sculpture, modelled as the forearm and hand of a young child, possibly representing a Classical putto or amorino.
The piece is beautifully modelled, with the hand held in an expressive open gesture, incorporating individually defined fingers, a palm, and delicately rendered creases.
Of hollow-cast construction, the sculpture has a wonderfully tactile quality and displays an attractive warm brown bronze patina throughout.
The subject is inspired by the Classical tradition of the putto or amorino – the small winged or infant figures frequently encountered in ancient Roman, Renaissance and later European decorative art.
Such miniature bronzes were produced as decorative objects and souvenirs for collectors inspired by the art and antiquities encountered during the Grand Tour of Italy.
The unusual subject matter, diminutive proportions, and sculptural quality make this a particularly appealing little object for a cabinet of curiosities, a desk, or a collection of Grand Tour bronzes.
