About the Item

Venetian sculptor (18th century) - Two figures of beggars. 12.5 x 7 x h 30 cm (large), 10 x 5 x h 25 cm (small). Full figures in carved wood. The two sculptures each depict a beggar, a figure with strongly characterised features, wrapped in tattered garments, a subject of considerable popularity in Venetian eighteenth-century woodcarving. The figures are rendered with lively carving and close attention to the expressive quality of the faces and the movement of the drapery. The natural patina of the wood, dark and even, is consistent with the age of the works. Condition report: Good general state of conservation. Surface with natural patina and diffuse wear consistent with age. • This item is sold with attribution and age documentation with legal validity. • Further details on the condition report are available upon request. Note for non-Italian buyers: This work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy, issued by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported.
