Limestone Bas-Relief (After Marchino, 17th Century)

A finely rendered limestone bas-relief, depicting the classical figure of The Thorn Puller—an enduring motif of quiet concentration and grace. This piece is a 17th-century-inspired interpretation after the Italian sculptor Marchino, executed with remarkable delicacy and detail.

The surface bears a soft, timeworn texture, and the composition is balanced with a sculptural lightness that reveals the artisan’s finesse. Minor chips at the corners do little to detract from its poetic presence; rather, they lend the piece a palpable sense of age and authenticity.
