Important 18th-century terracotta sculpture by Boizot, depicting a child putti. A rare and important handmade terracotta sculpture, this solid sculpture is signed Boizot and dated 1773. It represents two putti, cherubic children playing with an amphora, a Rococo motif that emphasizes their playful innocence, movement, and fluid forms. The two figures are positioned dynamically, creating an impression of movement and interaction. One putti tilts the amphora while the other stabilizes it. The hair, facial expressions, and musculature are finely modeled, demonstrating Boizot's attention to detail and realism in the 18th century. The piece rests on an ornate gilt base that enhances the sculpture and is characteristic of the period. It is a very fine piece.
