About the Item

This Antique Bronze Sculpture “Jeunes Garçons” by the French artist Louis Kley (1833-1911) beautifully captures the innocence and playful nature of childhood. Depicting two young boys interacting in a tender moment, the sculpture exudes charm and youthful energy. The boys are shown in a natural, relaxed pose, one with his hand on the other’s shoulder, both lightly captured in mid-motion, embodying the fluidity and freedom of youth. The bronze has been finely patinated, with a warm, rich tone that brings out the delicate details of the figures, from the boys’ playful expressions to the fine texture of their hair and skin. The scene is further enhanced by the subtle texture of the base, which depicts flowing water, adding depth and dynamism to the overall composition. The piece rests on a solid marble base, adding a touch of refinement and contrasting beautifully with the warmth of the bronze. This sculpture is in nice antique condition, with a beautiful patina that enhances its visual appeal. Kley’s work, known for its sensitivity to human emotion and his ability to capture the essence of childhood, is a fine example of 19th-century French bronze sculpture. This piece would make an elegant addition to any collection of fine art, embodying both the joy and vulnerability of youth. 6.75h x 4w x 3.5d
