Bronze Figural Statue of a Renaissance Youth

This item is a medium-sized cast bronze figural representative of a Renaissance-era youth or page. The sculpture depicts a standing male figure dressed in period attire including a ruffled doublet with a belted waist, short breeches, and high boots decorated with bows. He wears a distinctive wide-brimmed hat featuring a feather or plume detail. The statue is rendered with a dark brown, slightly lustrous patina that suggests an aged finish. The figure is posed in a relaxed contrapposto stance, holding what appears to be a bird or small animal tucked under his right arm. The casting shows significant attention to texture, particularly in the drapery of the clothing and the facial features, which exhibit a serene, slightly downcast expression. A signature is visible on the top of the flat rectangular base near the figure's left foot, potentially reading 'Lober' or a similar name, though the specific artisan requires further scholarly verification. The item is in good vintage condition with minor surface wear and dust accumulation consistent with age. There are no immediate signs of structural damage or major oxidation. Based on the style and craftsmanship, this piece appears to be a late 19th or early 20th-century European revival bronze, possibly of French or Italian origin, demonstrating high-quality decorative craftsmanship common for parlor or library accents of that period.
