Cherubic Figure Wrestling with a Goose Sculpture
This is a small sculpture depicting a cherubic figure wrestling with a goose. The figure, likely a cupid or putto, is rendered in a creamy, almost beige material, potentially alabaster, resin, or a composite. The sculpture is mounted on a clear, oval-shaped acrylic or glass base, approximately 0.5 inches thick. The figure stands with its left leg extended forward, its right arm wrapped around the goose's neck, and its left hand grasping its wing. The goose is depicted mid-struggle, with its neck arched and its wings slightly spread. The craftsmanship appears moderate, with some detail in the facial features and musculature, but lacking the extreme precision typically found in high-end pieces. There are visible imperfections on the clear base, specifically a rectangular patch of what appears to be dried glue or residue. The material of the sculpture itself shows a consistent color with no major discoloration or cracks visible from this angle. The style suggests a neoclassical or perhaps later period revival piece, though without specific markings, a definitive age is difficult to ascertain. The overall size appears to be approximately 6-8 inches tall, based on its relation to the user's leg in the foreground.
