Height 4.5 in., Width 5.5 in., depth 3 in. Charming bronze sculpture by South African artist Giovanni Schoeman depicting a cherubic child seated astride a dolphin cresting stylized waves. The composition blends classical figural influence with playful maritime imagery, enhanced by rich brown patination and smooth, flowing contours. The detailed modeling captures the softness of the cherubs form contrasted against the sleek curves of the dolphin and textured wave elements below. Signed and numbered 351/1000, indicating a larger but limited edition cast.
