This striking vintage pale‑yellow sculpture features a young boy seated on a rustic cross‑braced bench, holding a bundled sheaf of wheat close to his chest — a gentle nod to pastoral life and harvest symbolism.
The figure’s expressive face, soft curls, and relaxed crossed‑leg pose give the piece a warm, contemplative presence.
Crafted from what appears to be alabaster or an alabaster‑style composite, the sculpture has a smooth, creamy finish with subtle natural variations that enhance its vintage charm.
The ornate rectangular base adds elegance and stability, and the underside is lined with black felt, suggesting it was intended for careful display on fine furniture.
This is a large, substantial piece, measuring 18.5" tall × 7.5" wide × 12" deep and weighing 11 lbs.
The craftsmanship shows detailed folds in the clothing, lifelike bare feet, and a beautifully modeled wheat bundle — all visible in the photos.
A standout decorative sculpture for farmhouse, cottage, European classic, or vintage art collectors.
