Bronze Subject "woman In Antique Style", Eutrope Bouret

Elegant bronze sculpture with brown patina representing a young woman absorbed in reading a book, leaning gracefully on a classical column. The refined treatment of the drapery, the softness of the attitude and the delicacy of the features reflect the taste for the neoclassical and sentimental aesthetic of the late 19th century. Signed Bouret, this work is typical of the style of Eutrope Bouret, a French sculptor active in Paris, exhibiting regularly at the Salon from 1875. He is known for his feminine figures imbued with poetry and elegance, often inspired by literary or allegorical themes. This sculpture will appeal to lovers of quality decorative bronzes and collectors of late Romantic works.
