Andreé Guerval French Art Deco Bronze & Onyx Sculpture of Chysis / Woman & Urn

About the Item

Guerbe was both the student and wife of the famous French sculptor Pierre Le Fagueys. Depicting a young Greek Chysis partially nude and holding an onyx amphora aloft. The bronze mounted on a marble plinth with a nice chocolate brown patina. Signed in the plinth with an incised signature 'A. Guerval' above a faintly incised number 10341 and stamped to the underside of one foot 'JD 22' (possibly for the foundry). Simply a great French Deco bronze sculpture!
