Sale Pamono Vintage Italian Biscuit Porcelain & Bronze Figurine by Barbella

Sculptural maiden molded in fine and rare Biscuit porcelain on a gilded bronze base, signed by Costantino Barbella (Italy 1852- 1925).
The lightness of the dress while the girl runs on the meadows and the delicacy of the features, makes it an authentic work of art for connoisseurs.
Since the eighteenth century, the production of Biscuit porcelain was the pride and joy of the most prestigious royal houses.
The beauty of porcelain Biscuit passes through the complexity of modeling and refinement that evokes the great French sculptors.
Legend has it that Biscuit porcelain works are an evolution of molded crumb puppets, which were used to decorate sumptuously set tables.

Work signed in original.
The author was a great friend of Gabriele D’Annunzio, in whose house-museum some of his works are exhibited.
