"Terracotta Putto, Follower Of Giovanni Della Robbia, Circa 1520-1540"

Using a type popularized by several artists including Giovanni della Robbia or the Master of the Unruly Children (Sandro di Lorenzo), our little boy or putto is seated on a rocky base, his hand on an oil lamp, the cover of which he keeps on his right leg.
