Dancing children (one of a pair) 1770 - 1790

"Dancing Children (one of a pair)" is a Renaissance-era relief sculpture by Donatello, a prominent Italian artist. This work, which dates back to the late 14th or early 15th century, is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The sculpture depicts four cherubic figures engaged in playful movement, each with distinct expressions and postures. The delicate details and naturalism of the figures exemplify Donatello's mastery of the human form and the spirit of the Early Renaissance. The relief is a testament to the artist's enduring influence on the development of Western sculpture.
