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.
