About the Item
Large bronze with a brown patina by Jean-Louis Grégoire (1840-1890) depicting a young woman in the antique style reading a letter. With her right hand, the young woman, wearing a crown holding back her curly hair, dutifully reads her missive, her gentle face lowered. Dressed in a lightly draped toga with sculpted ornamentation, her left arm hangs down, holding another sheet of paper.
An allegory of literature and poetry, this work is finely carved and signed on its base "L. Grégoire" and "Société des bronzes."
Jean-Louis Grégoire (1840-1890) was the son of a chaser. From 1867 onward, he exhibited busts of contemporaries, mythological works, and, after the defeat of 1870, patriotic subjects at the Salon.
Société des bronzes de Paris: Operating from approximately 1875 to 1930, this foundry was located at 41 Boulevard du Temple and 14 Rue Béranger in Paris. A manufacturing workshop is also mentioned at 117 Boulevard Voltaire.
