Giambologna's "Door Knocker" is a bronze sculpture featuring a central putto, or winged cherub, standing on a platform supported by two nude female figures. Surrounding the putto are four additional putti, their playful interactions adding to the overall sense of movement and energy. The sculpture is a fine example of the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and exaggerated poses. This bronze was likely used as a door knocker for a grand residence, showcasing the wealth and taste of its owner.
