BY PROF. GUISEPPE LAZZERINI THE YOUNGER (ITALIAN, ? - 1895), CIRCA 1890

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

This very finely carved marble is in overall good and ready to place condition.
The surface with some light wear and surface marks, as to be expected with age and handling, with some faint discoloration towards the base.
There are minor signs of pitting and infill, only visible upon close examination, as well as 'nibbled' chips to the edges, such as to the flower garland in her hair and to the leaves by the rocky outcropping.
The dove to the figure's proper right shoulder with a well-restored break to its tail and to its right wing.
The figure's proper left thumb with a small area of infill to the underside.
The marble pedestal disassembles into three sections, with slightly different colorations to each section. The shaft with restored breaks to one top corner and one bottom section with some small associated loss and chips to edges. One lion's paw with a restored break to one toe. Due to the dark nature of the marble these breaks are not immediately noticeable.
The base with chips to the corners.
Ready to place.
144 kg weight, the statue.
270 kg weight, the pedestal
