Bronze With Brown Patina

Bronze proof with brown patina entitled "The Child and the Blind", signed by the Marseilles sculptor Berthe Girardet (1861 - 1948). A Blind Man, holding a stick which serves as his guide, leans on the shoulder of a Child. This one stretches out his hand to beg, or beg for help. We can note the Contrast of expressions on the faces of the two characters: the old man, crippled, displays a closed air, while the child offers a Playful and Avenant mine. The drapery of their clothes falls skilfully to the base, signed and marked with the seal of the Foundry “L. Gatti”. This Work of modest dimensions will awaken your Sensitivity by its Finesse and its Theme. ******** Period: Early 20th century Perfect condition.
