A twentieth-century Swedish marble cherub statue. The figure depicts a seated cherub atop a flowing naturalistic base, a horn-like instrument raised to its lips in a playful and animated pose. The carving is accomplished in its detail: soft facial features, wavy hair, and carefully rendered folds of drapery all demonstrate the skill of the sculptor. The marble, with its natural veining and smooth finish, provides an appropriately luminous medium for the subject. A versatile piece suited to garden display, an entrance hall, or an interior shelf — in the tradition of classical European decorative sculpture.
