Pair Of Biscuit Busts Of Louise And Alexandre Brongniart - C. Tharaud Limoges - Circa 1940

This pair of bisque busts depicts Louise and Alexandre Brongniart, two children immortalized with great delicacy after the models of the sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), master of neoclassical portraiture. Made of fine Limoges porcelain, these busts rest on porcelain bases, also decorated with deep blue and gilding, emphasizing the elegance of the whole. The faces are treated with remarkable finesse: the youthful features, the gentle expressions and the purity of the lines reflect the direct influence of Houdon, famous for his realistic and sensitive representations. Alexandre Brongniart, future director of the Sèvres factory, is represented here as a child, alongside his sister Louise. These busts are not only decorative objects: they embody an era when the art of portraiture in sculpture celebrated family ties and the beauty of childhood. Dimensions: Height 21 cm, length 11 cm, depth 7 cm. Each piece bears the artist's name in gold letters: "tharaud Limoges - Made in France", a guarantee of authenticity and prestige.
