The Declaration — Romantic Bronze By Charles Georges Ferville-suan (1847–1925)

The Declaration is an elegant and deeply moving bronze sculpture by the French sculptor Charles Georges Ferville-Suan (1847–1925), an artist renowned for his refined and sentimental figurative compositions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work captures an intimate moment of intimacy between two young lovers, expressed through sensitive body language and gentle, almost whispered movement. The figures' hesitant, tender, and emotionally charged demeanor lends the whole a decidedly poetic presence. The delicate modeling of the faces, hands, and drapery testifies to exceptional skill, while the warm, deep brown patina enlivens the surface and highlights the sculptural volumes. This romantic subject, combined with a harmonious composition, makes this piece both highly decorative and of genuine artistic interest. A characteristic example of French academic sculpture from the Belle Époque, it is perfectly suited to both a classic interior and a refined eclectic decor. Dimensions: 70 × 35 × 30 cm
