The sculpture depicting a reclining winged putto is a refined example that recalls similar models by Algardi; it comes from the collection of the Marquise Vittoria Toschi Mosca of Pesaro. With regard to the acquisition of the piece by the Civic Museums of Pesaro, it was chosen to generically indicate as terminus post quem the year of death of the marquise (1885), although it should be noted that since 1877 the illustrious town drew up a will in which she left to the city the Palazzo Mazzolari which she purchased to place her own artistic collection there with the express obligation to immediately establish a public museum aimed at the scholarly youth.
