(pair) Monumental life-sized carved white marble garden statuary, Classical Draped Beauties, each modeled as a partially-nude female goddess supporting grape cluster motifs, on integral socle with seated cherub, approx 71"h, 18"diam **Provenance: Property from a distinguished private collection** **PLEASE NOTE: All of the cast stone and garden pieces in this auction have inherent flaws and evidence of outdoor use. Most are likely to have small chips, hairlines or imperfections. Please assume that they are not in perfect condition and bid accordingly.**

09/24/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 3212- please note that I was unable to fully access the sculptures due to the gallery setup, although I have attempted to photograph both from all accessible sides, both figures stand sturdy, a UV light examination reveals a small area of restoration with overpaint to the toes of one figure, on this same sculpture, the putto appears to have a reduced or chipped little toe, the other sculpture displays what appears to be some possible restorations to some of the grapes, I also note a small opening in putties head, this is very small and appears as a flaw?, both sculptures exhibit typical minute scattered small chips, surface imperfections, some spotting, dust and accumulated dirt, the pair would benefit from a careful cleaning, please refer to the numerous images provided for additional views of the surfaces and noted imperfections, in my opinion, overall the figures are impressive in scale and retain a striking decorative presence, with only scattered minor losses and repairs consistent with age, handling and display
