Joan Of Arc In Prayer - Cookie

Joan of Arc kneeling in prayer in porcelain biscuit. This unsigned piece is difficult to identify but appears quite rare. In attitude she is close to Emmanuel FREMIET's kneeling Joan of Arc, although with a certain number of differences. Firstly, the virgin has her head back and turns her face towards the sky unlike that of FREMIET who looks down. Furthermore, she is wearing a war helmet whose visor is raised while finally her hair does not appear unlike FREMIET who planned it to be long and streaming down the back, which was also criticized for her. to make Joan of Arc too feminine. She is nevertheless in armor, knees resting on a small promontory. The piece is in good condition except for a fracture line at the level of the left calf which does not seem to come from an impact since the leg did not come off the terrace. It also appears that the sword is missing given a small hole in the upper left thigh which must have received it. The whiteness of the room is overall very correct apart from a few small stains.
