Toad
Bronze with patina
Dimensions : W. 8 ; D. 10 (cm.)
Work in the style
A cabinet curiosity, this toad is dynamic and particularly detailed, with a dark green patina. Originally, these small bronzes were cast directly onto the model. This is a fine curiosity in the style developed in Padua by Andréa Riccio in the early 16th century.
