About the Item
Handcarved, endearing and remarkable Classical Realism / Figurative work of art, weighing .. pounds.
A tender and exquisitely hand-carved alabaster sculpture by Italian artist Dante Zoi, depicting two young children in a playful, affectionate moment. This piece beautifully captures the innocence and intimacy of childhood, rendered with extraordinary craftsmanship and a gentle sense of motion.
The sculpture portrays an older sister guiding or steadying her younger brother, who leans forward with arms outstretched in childlike abandon. Their expressions are soft and serene, with finely carved features and delicately styled hair, enhancing the emotional charm of the piece. Zoi’s skillful handling of volume and detail brings a lifelike warmth to the figures, while the fluidity of their garments adds a sense of movement and narrative.
Crafted from smooth, warm-toned alabaster with natural veining, the sculpture glows subtly when touched by light. The artist’s signature, “D. Zoi,” is inscribed on the base, confirming authenticity.
