Italian mold-maker (18th century) - Allegory of Vanity.

Italian mold-maker (18th century) - Allegory of Vanity. 17 x 12 x h 42 cm. Full-length figure in molded terracotta. The group depicts a standing female figure, partially draped, with an exposed breast, in the act of holding a mirror with her raised arm. At her feet, a putto carries a cornucopia filled with flowers. The composition, set on an oval base, reveals high-quality modeling, with the drapery rendered with fluidity and the figures animated by a convincing sense of movement. The iconographic type refers to allegories of Vanity from the Baroque tradition, here interpreted in an ornamental style with a sensibility close to Rococo.
