A cherub holds a fish aloft with the unselfconscious joy of classical mythology — water flowing from the catch, the figure animated by both sculpture and stream.
Cast via the lost-wax process, the fountain stands 30" H × 14" W × 11" L and weighs 40 pounds, with a fully integrated fountain system engineered for continuous water circulation. The putto’s lifelike proportions, expressive features, and detailed fish sculpture are rendered with foundry precision, while the hand-applied aged patina deepens with outdoor exposure — developing the distinguished character of a piece rooted in Renaissance tradition.
The putto holding a fish is a motif steeped in European garden heritage — the fish symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and the life-giving nature of water, the cherub embodying innocence and playful vitality, together resonating with collectors of classical sculpture, estate designers, and those who seek water features that carry mythological depth.
Lost-wax bronze casting, hand-applied patina finish, fully integrated fountain system, weather-resistant construction, indoor and outdoor placement, 40-pound stable base, museum-quality classical figurative and aquatic detail.
Ideal for a formal rose garden, Italian-style courtyard, pool deck, or fountain parterre; a distinguished centerpiece for luxury estate owners, landscape architects, and collectors of European garden sculpture.
