Marble frog, fountain sculpture. Naturalistic interpretation with wide-open mouth, pierced for the location of the pipe, protruding eyes with hollowed pupil, slightly curved back with discreetly marked spine; the long, slender toes of the legs, placed firmly on the flat rock of a pond, give the impression that the batrachian is ready to pounce. Italy, 17th century H. 32.5 cm - W. 49 cm - D. 46 cm (restoration to base)
