Important Bronze sculpture “Allegory of Poetry”, by E. Drouot – 1900

About the Item

Large bronze with a brown patina by Edouard Drouot (1859-1945). This French sculptor is known for his sculptures of mythical scenes, characterized by a sense of movement and an impressive expressive touch. "Allegory of Poetry" is a work inspired by ancient sculptures depicting a nude man dressed in animal skin and gladiator sandals. A scarf traps his curly hair, highlighting his serious face, whose downcast eyes are fixed on a large tablet adorned with a laurel wreath. In his right hand, he holds a stylus. His raised arm seems to be gathering momentum. His posture is haughty, and his body is muscular. This important bronze by Edouard Drouot will delight you with its charisma and beautiful patina. ******* Period: 1900 Excellent condition.
