About the Item

A beautiful and very high quality Italian 19th century white carrara marble statue of a young boy reading a book. The statue is raised by a circular mottled base with lovely ground like designs and fine sculpted blooming flowers. The young boy is sitting on a bollard dressed in wonderfully executed period attire with a flowing coat, charming shoes tied in a bow and a hat with richly sculpted curly hair. He has a satchel over his shoulder holding the strap with his left hand and holding a folded book in his right hand while reading intently. Wonderful attention to detail throughout.

Italian 19th Century Carrara Marble Sculpture of a Boy by Raffaele Belliazzi
By Raffaele Belliazzi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A very fine Italian 19th century carved carrara marble sculpture Group Titled "LA GIOIA NELL'INNOCENZA DOPO IL LAVORO" (The Joy of Innocence After Labour) by Professor Raffaele Belliazzi (Italian, 1835-1917). The slender figure of the young boy, seated and resting on a rock with his hanging legs crossed and joyfully eating a cluster of grapes picked from his hat that is resting on his lap. The intricate carving of his shirt, jacket, pants, hat and boots with fine attention details such at the stitching, buttons, the hem on his pants, the wear on the soles of his boots and the features on his face makes this one of Belliazzi's finest known works. The sculpure rests on a dark green serpentine marble pedestal with a rotating top. Signed: Profor. Belliazzi, Carrara. Florence, circa 1870-1880. It may be possible to identify the present marble sculpture of a boy eating grapes...
