1053 - Bronze sculpture of a girl with a lamb. French School. 19th century.

Bronze sculpture of a girl with a lamb. French School. 19th century. Patinated bronze on a two-tone marble base. Dimensions: 33 x 20 x 20 cm. The sculpture depicts a girl in a contemplative pose, sitting next to a lamb she is gently holding. The naturalistic rendering of the face, the texture of her hair, and the soft folds of her dress reveal the refined craftsmanship typical of 19th-century French workshops. The dark patina and its contrast with the marble provide visual depth and compositional balance. The work embodies the Romantic ideal of innocence and tenderness characteristic of bourgeois taste of the period.
