As a child I had a putto, very similar to this but made of porcelain, on the wall over my bed, serving as my guardian angel. Yesterday I found this extraordinary piece among the craptastic knickknacks at Goodwill. It is carved of wood and hand painted, probably Italian (though it could be Austrian). I’ll be hanging this over my bed in my Brooklyn cottage. I could use someone to watch over me a little. I know it has some chips. That’s OK, we’re both a little worse for the wear.
