About the Item

Early 20th century french bronze sculpture with marble base of a sitting boy By: unknown Material: copper, bronze, metal, marble Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, patinated Dimensions: 3 in x 2 in x 6 in Date: early 20th century Style: Belle Époque, Art Nouveau Place of origin: France An early 20th century french bronze sculpture that depicts a young boy seated on a tree stump, one leg extended forward and arm raised mid-gesture. Cast in bronze, the figure is minimally draped, wearing just a swath of fabric across his lap. The naturalistic modeling and asymmetrical, impromptu pose showcase the dynamism and whimsy of the Belle Époque style. Set atop a rectangular black marble base, the boy conveys spirited youth on the cusp of motion. The sculptor expertly captures a sense of spontaneity and movement, creating a charming vignette frozen in time. Whimsical yet refined, this bronze exemplifies the naturalistic realism and joie de vivre that defined turn-of-the-century french sculpture.
