Circle of Domenico Gaggini (Bissone c. 1425-1426 – 1492 Palermo)
Angel Holding Candlestick
White marble, with traces of original gilding
Italy, Genoa, Naples, last quarter 15th century
This exquisite standing angel holds in both hands a candlestick-shaped column, two fingers of her right hand also supporting a familial coat of arms still adorned with traces of original gilding. Square-necked with loops of fabric encircling the shoulders, her long flowing garments fall to the floor covering all but the toes of both slippers. Her charming round face with small delicate mouth and nose is turned to the right looking out over one shoulder, her long hair held in place with a twisted headband.
