Gilt Bronze Figurine Young Lady with Love Letter at Fountain 19th century

About the Item

Step back in time with this stunning hand-chased cast bronze figurine, reminiscent of the beautiful Rococo era. Sculpture depicting a beautiful young lady in a garden by a fountain, holding a letter in one hand and a miniature portrait in the other. Judging by the facial expressions of the young beauty, she received a letter from her beloved young man and, after reading it, she plunged into sweet memories and dreams... Most likely, this beautiful sculpture once topped a magnificent Rococo mantel clock. But given the craftsmanship and quality of workmanship, this sculpture can be placed on its own or as part of an artistic image on a pedestal made of stone, wood or metal. Made in the middle of 19th century, gilded bronze, hand casting and chasing. Details are just amazing.
