Bronze Figure “Putto with Drum” on Black Marble - Baroque - H. 30,4 cm
Item number 138499
A winged drummer setting the beat with a long stride.
On a sideboard, chest of drawers or mantelpiece the drummer brings movement into the room. Together with the Putto with Cymbals in the same size he forms a musical pair, something collectors of Baroque putti particularly enjoy.
At a glance
- Material: Bronze, marble base
- Colour: bronze / black
- Dimensions (W x D x H): 10,5 x 15 x 30,4 cm
- Weight: 2,8 kg
- Finish: Lost-wax cast, hand-chased and patinated
Craftsmanship
After lost-wax casting, the drum, curls and wings are sharply recut by hand while the child's body stays softly rounded. The golden brown patina is applied individually. A modelled bronze ground with grasses rests on a round base of black marble.
Care
A soft, dry cloth is enough, for the marble too. Polish, water and cleaners would only harm the patina.
