Object Description
A lovely Italian silver-plated bronze sculpture of a shepherd boy and a lamb mounted on a polished marble plinth, circa 1880 in date.
The shepherd is dressed in classical Italian peasant costume with his lamb by his side on a rocky outcrop signed A. G. T.
A shepherd is a protective, guiding figure often depicted in pastoral art and religious imagery as carrying a vulnerable or lost lamb, symbolizing compassion and tender care.
The craftsmanship is second to none throughout all aspects of this beautiful sculpture.
