This bronze sculpture, cast using the lost-wax method, is placed on a white marble base. It represents the face of a classic Neapolitan 'scugnizzo' (street urchin), inspired by the image of young boys in the streets of Naples. The face of the 'scugnizzo' is characterized by strong features, with a thick head of tousled hair and a lively, playful expression. The eyes, engraved with great skill, are vivid and seem to curiously scrutinize the world around them. The sculpture also features realistic details such as fine lines around the eyes and mouth, which give the face a sense of authenticity and reveal the artist's skill in rendering the three-dimensionality of the subject. The artist's signature, V. Cinque, is delicately engraved in the white marble base. V. Cinque was a renowned Neapolitan sculptor from the period between 1852 and 1929, belonging to the Neapolitan school of the early 20th century. This sculpture represents an example of his distinctive artistic style, which aimed to capture the life and soul of Neapolitan subjects, paying homage to the city's cultural and artistic heritage.
