Elegant bronze bust, created using the lost-wax technique and hand-chiseled. The sculpture is mounted on a parallelepiped base of yellow marble, which enhances its stability and support. The bronze depicts the face of a smiling child, with a sweet grimace and a cap that tilts gently to one side. This is a work of high sculptural quality, characterized by great realism, capable of elegantly enriching any environment. This bronze is attributed to the renowned Sicilian bronzist Pietro Piraino (1878-1950), whose signature is visible on the back. Piraino was active in Rome around the early 20th century.
