We present this splendid sculpture in white marble, probably from Carrara. The sculpture dates back to the late 19th century. The signature A. Cipriani is engraved on the back, probably Adolfo Cipriani (1857-1941), an important Florentine sculptor, lacking authentication. This fantastic sculpture is truly fantastic both for its choice of subject and its artistic quality, attributable to a sculptor who mastered sculptural techniques perfectly. A child tries to get up from a chair, a gesture that may seem banal but which actually contains profound reflections: the first simple challenges of childhood, the sincere and natural determination of a child, the desire to grow and emulate the gestures of adults. Furthermore, the choice of this composition and this subject allowed the sculptor to superbly express his ability to infuse dynamism into sculpture with extreme naturalness. Watch your arms search for the last foothold on the chair as your body carefully rotates and your feet seek a safe landing on the floor. The child, with a serene but attentive expression, looks at the floor. The rest of the sculpture is equally remarkable in its rendering, with the natural folds of the fabrics and the perfectly sculpted straw chair. We find this sculpture simply fantastic! If you are passionate about sculpture, it could be a perfect addition to your collection.
