About the Item

An elegant Italian terracotta sculpture of a classical youth, circa 1900. Finely modeled and beautifully proportioned, the figure stands in a graceful contrapposto pose, his gaze lowered and one arm extended in a gesture of contemplation. The draped cloth over his shoulder and the naturalistic detailing of his hair and sandals reveal the refined craftsmanship typical of late-19th-century Tuscan or Neapolitan workshops. Executed in rich, warm terracotta with a soft matte surface, the sculpture recalls the idealized beauty of ancient Roman statuary and Renaissance revival taste. Mounted on it's circular base, where the manufacturers marks and a number appear with the words "made in Italy" and 3 initials, this timeless figure brings warmth and sophistication to both traditional and contemporary interiors. A classic example of Italian terracotta artistry, expressive yet understated, and a superb decorative statement for any collection.

Unique Bronze Guitar Player by Marchello Mascherini
By M. Mascherini
Located in Palm Desert, CA
This is a unique bronze piece, not editioned, by Marchello Mascherini of a seated figure on a stool playing a guitar. One may interpret the figure as singing as his mouth is open. The figure and the guitar blend and become one in areas, creating ambiguity of definition in the piece. The patina is a deep chocolate brown. The base of the sculpture is marble and measures 3.25" X 3.25". The original tag is still present on the underside of the base, but has faded and is not completely legible. It is signed "M. Mascherini" on one of the legs of the stool. This is definitely a piece worthy of joining any art collection. Marchello Mascherini was born in Udine, Italy, in 1906. He moved to Isernia, the central-southern region of Molise, where he first began learning about sculpture in the local workshops of the area. He finished his education at the Regia Scuola d’arte and moved on to the Istituto Industriale “Alessandro Volta” in the spring of 1921 focussing on ornamental sculpture. His first one-man show took place at Circolo Alessandro Manzoni...
