Belle Époque French Bronze Sculpture of a Boy with Overall and Hat by Louis Kley

About the Item

Belle Époque french bronze sculpture of a boy with overall and a hat by Louis Kley By: Louis Kley Material: bronze, copper, metal Technique: cast, patinated, molded, metalwork Dimensions: 4 in x 8 in Date: late 19th century Style: Belle Époque Place of origin: France This late 19th century french bronze sculpture depicts a young boy with hat standing at ease with his hands in his pockets. The work was created by Louis Kley, a sculptor renowned for his Belle Époque style. The figure is positioned upright on a circular base signed by the artist. Kley captures the youth's relaxed posture as he stands with his hands inserted casually in his overall pockets. The sculpture's patinated bronze finish and finely molded anatomy exhibit the accomplished modeling and casting techniques of the period. As a representative example of Kley's classicizing figural works, this piece encapsulates the elegant sensibilities of turn-of-the-century French sculpture. Its restrained composition and skilled execution reflect the aesthetics of the Belle Époque.
