Flemish 17th century

A 17th century Flemish cast bronze figure of a youth with a bunch of grapes

Cast in the round, with older patina. A figure of a nude youth facing left and holding a large bunch of grapes, presumably a symbol of the Eucharist. An integrally cast bracket would allow the figure to be attached to a corner.
Mounted on a modern wooden plinth. Height 12 cm (without plinth).

Provenance

Collection of Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Salber, Cologne.
