Based on a work by Jean-Baptiste CARPEAUX (1827–1875). “Why Be Born a Slave?” Imposing bronze with a nuanced patina, posthumously cast. Includes foundry stamp and certificate from the foundry. One of 12 numbered copies of this model (1/12 for this one). Total height with base: 48 cm Bust of a Black woman, an allegory of the African continent, from the “Fontaine de l’Observatoire” in Paris. The bonds restraining her body evoke slavery, while the twist of the bust, the facial expression, and the movement of her hair convey a sense of rebellion. “Why be born a slave?” echoes the debates sparked by the abolition of slavery in 1848
