About the Item

Late 19th century french bronze sculpture of a boy with a sword by Louis Kley By: Louis Kley Material: bronze, alabaster, copper, stone, metal Technique: cast, patinated, molded, metalwork, polished Dimensions: 3 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 shirtless boy holding a rapier in his right hand. The work was created by Louis Kley, a sculptor known for his Belle Époque style. The figure stands upright on a circular alabaster base signed by the artist. Kley captures the youth's relaxed posture as he grips the rapier's hilt. 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.
