Lot Essay

Annibale De Lotto (d. 1932) was born in Venice and worked primarily in the Veneto. He was celebrated for the numerous public monuments he executed, but also worked on statuettes inspired by his love of the Adriatic. The most famous of these is his young fisherboy, known as Il Granchio, of which the present bronze is a cast.
