About the Item

Late 19th Century Belle Époque metal sculpture of a young boy lifting a faced amphora by Auguste Moreau, France By: Auguste Moreau Material: metal Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork, patinated Dimensions: 7.5 in x 7.5 in x 26.5 in Date: late 19th century Style: Empire, Belle Époque, Neoclassicism, Revival Place of origin: France This late 19th-century sculpture by Auguste Moreau depicts a youthful figure gracefully bearing an amphora. The piece, cast in metal with a silver finish, embodies the Neoclassical revival characteristic of the period. The semi-nude boy, rendered with careful attention to anatomical detail, supports the vessel on his right shoulder. Notably, the amphora features a face molded into its surface, suggesting a possible reference to classical mythology. The sculptor's craftsmanship is evident in the fluid lines and polished finish, which catch the light to accentuate the form's contours. Moreau's signature can be discerned at the base near the figure's feet, authenticating this fine example of French Empire-style statuary. The work's composition and subject matter reflect the era's fascination with antiquity, blending classical themes with the refined aesthetic sensibilities of the Belle Époque.
