"19th Century Bronze Sculpture "
Elegant patinated bronze sculpture depicting a young man seated in deep contemplation, absorbed in reading a book, embodying intellectual research and reflection. He is draped in a flowing fabric, seated on a seat decorated with sculpted reliefs, accompanied at his feet by scrolls of parchment and a small crouching figure symbolizing tormented thought or inspiration. The fine details—from the curls of hair to the facial expression and the decorative elements of the base—testify to remarkable work typical of the late 19th century.
