19th Century Patinated Terra Cotta of Bacchanalian Putti Playing with Goat

About the Item

A lovely depiction of the neoclassical taste, three putti can be seen playing with a goat. The terra cotta sculpture from the 1800s has a variegated patination, with hues of dark ochre, gray, and cream. Each putto is bedecked with a ring of grapevines around their waist. One putto sits atop the long-haired goat, using a long grapevine as a rein. A second putto lays on the ground, holding the end of the rein. The last putto is feeding the goat a handful of grapes. Grapes are scattered across the textured ground, which is dotted with grass and a stemmed grape cluster tied with a crinkled ribbon. The charming and highly decorative French statue of Bacchanalian putti playing with a goat can be displayed on a center or side table, or a console. Signed on the back side of the base by the artist.
