Sculptuur Le Saltimbanque en sculptuur Le Gamin à la toupie door Carradori et Cie before 1885

This is a pair of black and white illustrations of two sculptures created by the company Carradori et Cie before 1885. The sculptures are both of young boys, one balancing on a ball and the other playing with a spinning top. The sculptures were likely created to be displayed in a home or public space, as they were not meant to be religious, but rather to capture the innocence and joy of childhood. The sculptures are part of a larger collection of illustrations from an unknown publication. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with the artists paying attention to detail in capturing their youthful features.
