It is very rich in detail and I think that it is a "cire perdue" (I think a lost form cast to be more precise) cast. Stunning also. I would like to know more about him. What else do you know? I found an auction where the foundry address was given as Via Babuino 63 on an engraving. Another action had a statuette dated to 1795 but all other seem to be dated a century later. But the dealer confirmed that the date was engraved. Was this a family business? Let me know if you have more details and thanks for sharing.

She's perfect for Holy Week. :-)<br /><br />I've been MIA without computer access and am about to be again. I'm asking my blogging friends for their prayers for the sale of our St. A. house. I won't waste space here, but I blogged about it. So if you can send a prayer heavenward for me, please do. I would greatly appreciate it.<br /><br />Glad you had fun with your family!
