Late 19th Century Bronze Sculpture Portrait Of Mozart

Beautiful lost-wax cast bronze sculpture depicting a young Mozart. The famous composer and musician is depicted wearing typical eighteenth-century clothing, wearing trousers, boots, a bodice and a knee-length jacket, as can be seen and noted in his most famous portraits. The hair is gathered in what is the traditional wig, while the gaze is focused on the violin he is playing; the latter has an iron string in the bow. The sculpture is mounted on a bronze base, on the front of which is the inscription “Mozart”, which identifies the subject of the work. On the same base you can also read the inscription “Chiparus Lamant”, probably attributable to the sculptor and the foundry. French manufacture from the late nineteenth century.
