Marble Sculpture by Adolfo Cipriani, 19th Century
Dimensions: Height: 18.71 in (47.5 cm), Width: 9.85 in (25 cm), Depth: 9.06 in (23 cm).
Discover this exquisite late 19th-century white marble sculpture, likely carved from Carrara marble. The piece bears the engraved signature A. Cipriani, attributed—though not authenticated—to the renowned Florentine sculptor Adolfo Cipriani (1857–1941).
This exceptional sculpture stands out for both its expressive subject and its remarkable artistic quality. It captures a young child attempting to climb down from a chair—a seemingly simple moment that reflects deeper themes: the early challenges of childhood, natural determination, and the instinctive desire to imitate adult gestures. The composition showcases the sculptor’s mastery, bringing lifelike movement and subtle emotional depth to the piece.
Note the child’s arms reaching for a final point of support, the gentle twist of the torso, and the careful placement of the feet searching for the floor. The serene yet focused expression enhances the narrative, while the finely carved folds of the clothing and the meticulous detailing of the straw chair highlight the artist’s technical precision.
This marble sculpture by Adolfo Cipriani is a standout example of late 19th-century Italian craftsmanship.
