Tin Sculpture

Beautiful proof in pewter representing the nymph Syrinx charming Pan, hallmarked and signed Georges Van de Voorde (1878-1970). An eclectic Belgian sculptor, Georges Van de Voorde was a student at the Courtrai Academy and then became a professor and director of the Academy of Decorative Arts in Molenbeek (Brussels). "La Fontaine" is a poetic work depicting Syrinx, the Nymph in love with Pan, god of nature, here represented by a bust. Syrinx, scantily clad, her combed curls surrounding her smiling face, tickles Pan's beard. The fountain appears to be filled with water and reflects the scene through the use of a mirror. It is surrounded by finely carved vegetation and birds. This large pewter sculpture will delight with its delicacy and the harmony that emerges from it. ******** Period: 1900 Shipping possible by Colissimo with careful packaging and suitable protection Dimensions: Height: 40 cm Width: 29 cm Depth: 20 cm Weight: 7.6 kg reference: 283U Additional photos: https:/ /www.antiquites-lecomte.com/boutique/elements-de-coration/sculpture-en-etain-la-fontaine-de-g-van-de-voorde-art-nouveau-1900
