Young Fisherman Au Filet, Great Alabaster Sculpture From The Nineteenth Century

imposing alabaster sculpture dating from the 2nd half of the 19th century.
it is a very beautiful sculpture probably Italian, representing a boy with a straw hat busy firing a fishing net.
the quality of this sculpture is remarkable: the details are of a great precision and treated with a lot of realism.
the young fisherman sits on a finely worked rock at the foot of which waves can be seen. He is busy shooting with a rope a fishing net in which we can find trapped fish.
the meshes of the net are of a great delicacy, and give the impression of being able to pass there the fingers.
the attitude of the child is very natural, he seems very busy with his fishing net and the sculptor gave him a very pretty smiling face. He wears a thin chain around his neck and is dressed in a shirt and short pants, with a straw hat on his head.
all the details are superb, the face of the child, the finely crafted clothes, the net, the fish ...
it is therefore a remarkable work of quality, probably an Italian work of the second half of the nineteenth century.
attention this sculpture measures 96 cm high, the height is considerable as well as the weight.
an old restoration on the edge of the straw hat on a few centimeters.
the pull rope has also been restored.
a very beautiful realistic sculpture very decorative.
