About the Item

Elegant 15th-century wooden sculpture of a finely executed infant missing his arms. The work, of central Italian provenance, recalls the Donatello manner in the delicacy of the features and the naturalistic rendering of the figure. The slightly sloping posture and weight balance suggest an evolution of the Gothic style toward the early Renaissance. The surface retains an antique patina with traces of the original polychromy, lending additional charm and authenticity. The careful workmanship highlights the artistic quality of the period and the historical value of the work. At 84 cm tall, this sculpture represents a rare example of Renaissance statuary, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of ancient art. A piece of extraordinary beauty and great visual impact.
