Catalogue Note
Le travail de la ciselure sur les chevelures et les costumes des deux saints est caractéristique des fontes romaines du XVIIIe siècle. Ces statuettes devait initialement former parties d'un retable de dévotion privée ou d'un tabernacle richement orné dans la tradition des réalisations de Ludovico del Duca (Rome, Santa Maria Maggiore) ou Jacob Cobaert (Rome, San Luigi dei Francesi).
