About the Item

Enchanting terracotta sculpture depicting the embrace between two lovers. The woman, with her breasts exposed and on her knees, embraces and is embraced by the man in a passionate and romantic gesture. Both figures, half-length, convey intensity and love. The author, Teo Russo, famous Italian sculptor and painter, engraved his signature and the date (1965) on the work. This splendid evocative sculpture recalls post-modern artistic currents, in particular futurist art, and represents a symbol of love and passion. The sculpture is finally positioned on a rectangular wooden base. Measurements: H x W x D 32 x 18 x 20cm
