Catalogue Note

L'attribuzione alla bottega di Niccolò Roccatagliata si basa principalmente sui confronti con due amorini del Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (op. cit., figg. 669-670). Queste figure sono vicine a questo bronzo in alcuni dettagli tra i quali il trattamento dei capelli, la tipologia del volto e le proporzioni del corpo. Un calamaio simile è stato venduto da Sotheby's New York il 25 gennaio 2007, lotto 243.
