Bronze “the Young Girl With The Broken Jug”, Signed Jb.germain – Late 19th Century

Important bronze with brown patina signed on the terrace Jean Baptiste Germain (1841-1910). This French sculptor, student of Dumont and Gumery, received honors from his peers during the Universal Exhibition of 1900. “The Young Girl with the Broken Jug” represents a young person standing next to her broken jug on the ground, looking distraught, clutching her long pleated dress with both hands. This work carries a moralizing warning. Indeed, the broken jug is a well-known symbol which evokes the loss of virginity. This test, which takes on another dimension, will please above all for the finesse of its work. ******** Period: Late 19th Century Excellent condition.
