Description

19th Century Italian Carrara Marble Sculpture of Sleeping Putto A finely carved Italian Grand Tour marble sculpture depicting a sleeping putto reclining upon a cushioned divan with draped fabric and tassel details. Executed in white marble, likely Carrara, the sculpture captures the gentle naturalism characteristic of 19th-century Neoclassical taste. The child rests peacefully with one arm draped across a cushion, the relaxed pose and softly modelled features conveying a quiet sense of repose. The figure is carved in the round and raised on its original rectangular base. With its graceful composition and pleasing scale, the piece displays beautifully on a mantel, console, or pedestal. ⸻ Details Origin: Italy Date: 19th Century, circa 1850–1880 Material: Carrara marble Height: 35 cm (13.8 in) Width: 35 cm (13.8 in) Depth: 33 cm (13 in) Condition: Good antique condition with light age patina.
