A rare 19th century Grand Tour bronze sculpture of "The Neapolitan Fisherman" with a beautiful weathered patina attributed to the Neapolitan foundry Fonderia Chiurazzi. It is a full-scale replica of the original now preserved in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
The male figure is dressed in a short tunic and cap, his head turned slightly to the right, both arms outstretched, his left hand holding a small basket. He is seated on a rocky outcrop adorned with shells, and between his legs runs a small fountain head in the shape of a Bacchus head. Measuring 55 cm in height, the sculpture demonstrates refined workmanship and a rich, natural patina. It comes with the original basket which is usually lost.
