The work depicts the young Romilly (inspired by the famous tragic medieval legend of the Egremont boy, immortalized in the poems by William Wordsworth and Rogers), caught in a moment of tender and faithful communion with his hunting dog. The boy wears a finely carved medieval tunic, on whose chest sits a heraldic emblem. The figure rests on a pedestal of extraordinary virtuosity, where the marble appears to soften, giving life to detailed ferns and soft moss. The choice of Carrara Statutory Marble, favored by the great masters of history, gives the sculpture an almost ethereal luminosity. The surface finish captures light sublimely, highlighting the delicacy of the boy’s face and the realistic texture of the dog’s fur. • The packaging will be carried out directly by CENZI ArtGallery on a platform made of EPAL wood completely clad in wood, with professional and specific materials inside.
