Children and Grape Harvest, white marble sculpture
Italy, mid-19th century, signed P. Filippini
Two cherubs hold a wicker basket full of grapes,
an autumnal allegory of the grape harvest.
Dressed in modest clothing,
their faces express a mixture of happiness and
pride for a job well done.
The wealth of detail makes the clothes,
the children, and the scene extremely realistic.
Signed P. Filippini on the base on the right.
Small chips on the girl's hat.
Yellowed patina.
We can provide a quote for cleaning
