Sobre la escultura
This and an accompannying cherub head (A.61-1951) are made by Giacomo Serpotta and are characteristic works by Serpotta. They were stated on acquisition to have come from a war-damaged church in Palermo. This cannot be identified.
Serpotta practised mainly in stucco, but also in marble and bronze. He was a prolific decorative artist of great ability and taste and is commemorated in Palermo by a large number of church interiors, of which the earliest is the Oratorio della Carità (1679) and the latest the Oratorio di San Francesco di Paola ai Candelai (1731/2).
