Technique: cast, patinated, carved, pressed, metalwork

Date: late 19th century, early 20th century
Style: Romanticism, Naturalism, Realism, Belle Époque
Place of origin: Spain
This late 19th century bronze sculpture depicts three laughing children seated together on a bench. Titled 'Watching Something', it was created by spanish artist Juan Clara using the casting technique with a patinated finish and carved details. Clara, born in 1875 in Olot, Spain, was known for his sculpted depictions of children. This work exemplifies the realist style popular in Europe at the time, capturing a spontaneous moment in the children's' interaction. The figures are sculpted naturalistically with attention to movement and expression. Clara's signature can be found on the base.
The Romantic-era interest in emotion and nature is evident in the joyful subject. This sculpture provides insight into the bronze casting arts in late 19th century Spain as well as the wider european artistic shift towards Realism and Naturalism, which sought to accurately represent contemporary life and people.
