Lost wax bronze casting.
The theme of the putti is very dear to the Italian Renaissance. These adorable little children, chubby and naked, are often represented together with animals, their eternal playmates.
This putto for a fountain represents a child who enjoys playing with water while chasing fish with a trident. This adorable bronze putto is depicted with a trident, a pole weapon attributed to the sea god Neptune or Poseidon. Dynamism and vitality are the characteristics of this adorable child who possesses an almost embarrassed weapon.
