About the Item
Large marble sculpture of an amorous couple by Antonio Frilli
Italian, late 19th century
Measures: Height 130cm, width 68cm, depth 46cm
This spectacular sculptural group is by Antonio Frilli, one of the most celebrated Florentine sculptors of the late 19th century. The sculpture portrays a couple by a classical water fountain. A young man sits on the fountain, his legs crossed over its side and a staff in his left hand. He leans tenderly towards a young woman, who rests against the same fountain; his mouth is by her ear, whispering words that render the woman shy: her right hand practically covers her face in a timeless gesture associated with coy embarrassment.
The quality of the carving throughout is remarkable: Frilli has wrought hard stone into a variety of sensual textures, whether crisp folds of fabric, light locks of hair, or smooth skin. The piece is classically timeless: the figures could be from Ancient Rome or 19th century Florence.
It is signed to the base ‘Antonio Frilli / Firenze’.
