Limoges Bisque Cherub Nude Violinist Figurine

A delicate Limoges bisque porcelain figurine from the late 19th century that shows a cherub musician holding a violin. The sculptor’s skill at capturing realistic draperies, delicate facial features, and dynamic posture is emphasized by the matte, unglazed finish. This piece, which is set on a dark blue pedestal with gilt accents, echoes the romantic putti motifs that French Limoges workshops adore. It was created at the height of Victorian sentimentality and captures the fascination that music and innocence had across Europe.
