Vintage Garden Statue

A vintage composition stone garden statue of a putto holding a large fish with both hands while balancing on one leg. This model is often made as a garden fountain and there is evidence of plumbing through the body of this figure suggesting it might originally have been a fountain. However, even if not used as a fountain it is an attractive garden statue which conveys a sense of movement and is interesting from all aspects.

The salvaged composition stone plinth in one of the photographs is very well suited to this statue and elevates it into a eye-catching garden centrepiece. It is available with this statue if required, dimensions 15" x 15" x 24" high, price £250. 

19th or early 20th century.
