Image of a resting couple

Relief

unknown carver artist

end of the 18th century

The carved sculpture was a furniture ornament. The owner of the furniture is unknown, presumably a member of a wealthy social class. A relief is a sculptural work of art that slightly protrudes from the base plan. The work is a genre piece, which is characterized by depicting the events and scenes of everyday life; in this case a resting couple. The style is late Baroque, which can be characterized by animatedness (transitions between deep and prominent parts, the posture of the couple).

Specialist description
Delo upodablja žanrski motiv počivajočega para. Gre za preostanek plastično obdelane opreme, ki je utegnila ob koncu 18. stoletja nastati za neznani patricijski milje. Neznani rezbar je z rokokojskimi potezami izrezljal počivajoč par. Položaj nog moškega potrjuje, da je dogajanje postavljeno v razgiban eksterier.
