    Pair of Patinated Terracotta Putti Musicians – Louis XVI Style, Napoleon III Period
    A charming patinated terracotta group depicting two putti musicians seated back to back on a pile of flat stones.

    One plays the flute while his companion deciphers a musical score, creating a pastoral scene full of gentleness and poetry where music becomes the pretext for a silent dialogue between the two children.
    The sculpture captivates with the quality of its modeling: expressive faces, finely crafted hair, rounded and natural anatomies, as well as the harmonious movement of the composition. The accessories – stones, musical score, and instruments – reinforce the erudite and delicately rustic character of the ensemble.
    Made in the 18th-century style, this work dates from the mid-19th century, a period during which the Louis XVI style experienced a significant resurgence of interest among enthusiasts and collectors.
    Beautiful original patina.
    Minor, discreet old restorations (one little finger and the flute's mouthpiece). A small firing defect on one of the flutes, with no aesthetic impact.

    A particularly charming decorative sculpture that will find its place naturally on a chest of drawers, a bookcase, or a console table, in a classic interior as well as in a more contemporary setting, where it will bring a warm and timeless presence.
