Early 20th Century Italian Carved Alabaster Sculpture of Putti Pillow FightThis charming early 20th century Italian sculpture captures the joy and innocence of childhood in finely carved alabaster. Two playful putti, rendered with soft features and expressive detail, engage in a lively pillow fight. One kneels with a mischievous grin, clutching the billowing folds of the pillow, while the other leans forward in laughter, their chubby hands and feet skillfully defined by the sculptors hand. The smooth alabaster surface
This charming early 20th century Italian sculpture captures the joy and innocence of childhood in finely carved alabaster. Two playful putti, rendered with soft features and expressive detail, engage in a lively pillow fight. One kneels with a mischievous grin, clutching the billowing folds of the pillow, while the other leans forward in laughter, their chubby hands and feet skillfully defined by the sculptor’s hand.
The smooth alabaster surface contrasts beautifully with the natural veining of the stone, enhancing the sense of movement and texture — from the cherubs’ tousled hair to the rippling pillow beneath them. Resting on a rectangular plinth incised with a cross hatch motif, this whimsical tableau blends exquisite craftsmanship with lighthearted subject matter, making it a delightful decorative accent for both classical and contemporary interiors.
