    I just picked this up off the FB marketplace today with a beautiful stand to go with it. I was told by the seller that she had it for over 30 years... I'm assuming authentic? I've never seen a fabrication before. I'm just worried it's been painted? Has anyone ever seen a Germain piece that hasn't been a solid color? Either way, for the price I paid, I'm not complaining. Any info is greatly appreciated, cheers IMG_20200504_141701137.jpg IMG_20200504_141734322.jpg IMG_20200504_141727911.jpg IMG_20200504_141708734.jpg IMG_20200504_141742273.jpg s.

    Something like a trident is missing from the hand of the putto.

    He seems to have different signatures. One of these from Invaluable, and one like yours from 1st Dibs.

    Unfortunately it has been repainted and in some areas not well done. It's nice looking though not sure why the sig is different.

    The plinth is a separate price, no?
