This 19th-century plaster sculpture depicts a putto, a winged cherub, standing on a base with its arms raised in a gesture of adoration. The sculpture, crafted by an unknown artist, is a prime example of the popular use of putti in decorative arts during this period. Often used in fountains, gardens, and interior design, these figures symbolized innocence and joy. This particular putto, with its delicate features and expressive pose, exudes a sense of youthful exuberance. The sculpture's small size, measuring only 347 mm high, further enhances its charm and emphasizes its decorative function.
