This spelter sculpture with brown patina represents Pierrot and Columbine, two emblematic figures of Italian comedy, interacting with a crescent moon.
The piece captures Pierrot reaching out to the moon while Columbine sits, playing the mandolin.
The crescent moon is an integral part of the composition and enriches the narration of the scene.
This work is based on several layers of marble in varying shades, namely turquin blue, portor and Valencia yellow, testifying to quality materials and refined know-how.
The combination of materials and the romantic theme of Commedia Dell'Arte make this sculpture an interesting representation of the art deco era.
