About the Item
This exquisite 19th-century French bronze sculpture portrays a young woman gracefully balancing two ornate water buckets suspended from a yoke across her shoulders. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the flowing drapery and the serene expression that captures the essence of daily life in that era.
The base bears the signature “P. Kaujalgen”, suggesting the work of a French sculptor from the period. While specific information about this artist is limited, the craftsmanship reflects the high standards of 19th-century French bronze artistry.
Mounted on a polished black stone base, the sculpture stands as a testament to the elegance and functionality of everyday tasks transformed into art. The rich patina developed over time enhances its visual appeal, making it a captivating addition to any collection.
