Reading Cherubs (Pair)

The body stretches along the base, the feet lifted and crossed, the open book held across both palms. Auburn curls gather in wide coils and the face tilts down to the lines. Roses and small posies are scattered over the pale blue gown, gilt scrollwork runs across the bodice and a gold band closes the hem. The wings rest behind the shoulders with each feather picked out, and an oval wooden base carries a brass nameplate.
