Small Statue

I have this small statue. Any ideas?

 

Hi, James! I'm taking the liberty of reposting your photograph as a Full Image so it's easier for everyone to see. If those are winged feet, than going to be a seated Mercury like this one.

Here's the original. Hermes or Mercury as above.

Is this yours? (Appears to be the same photograph.)

Lots of copies floating around the internet and they're all described as "Grand Tour souvenirs." A bit of caution in that new copies are also available.

in this case size matters...
what is small ?
a 40 to 50 cm one normally went for 400 to 600 € on the open market, depending on finish, patination etc.. the smaller ones were often sold around museums and monuments. especially around Ercolaneo.

 

mediocre quality. can't help with the size - 10 to 12 centimeters ?
not even sure if it's proper bronze; I'd scratch the surface inside the socle and have a look if it's silver or white color.

 

He’s beautiful @James Desbiens. Perhaps not worth a fortune, but someone will pay to own him! Do you know if he’s still made today in the mould you have , because scarcity always helps price. The good news is handsome young men are always in vogue, I can’t see him doing less than £50 for the material and subject matter, even if he was made yesterday

 

The good news is handsome young men are always in vogue,.....

well....for pretty women, they are !!!

 

I can neither confirm nor deny!
