About the Item
This fine and imposing sculpture is an excellent example of 16th century Italian craftsmanship. The figure is stood on a raised, shaped rectangular base with a carved "dolphin" at the figure's right heel. Part robed, the figure stands with the left arm held aloft holding a fish.
Whilst signed and dated "P. Torregiano 1521" purportedly for Pietro Torrigiano (24 November 1472 – July/August 1528), it is almost certainly a later piece and is likely to have been made within the circles of sculptors such as Michelangelo Naccherino (Florence, March 6, 1550 – Naples, February, 1622) in the late 16th century.
