Le Charmeur De Lézard Bronze Signed Adolphe Jean Lavergne

The Lizard Charmer
Bronze signed Adolphe Jean Lavergne

Elegant brown patina bronze depicting a young boy charming a lizard, a work full of spontaneity and poetry signed Adolphe Jean Lavergne. Here, the sculptor captures with great finesse a childhood moment imbued with curiosity and gentleness: the child, barefoot, plays with his blowtorch to attract the small reptile he is holding delicately close.

The treatment of the subject reveals a young boy charming a lizard.

The treatment of the subject reveals all Lavergne's talent in the art of movement and natural expression. The details of the face, the soft folds of the garment and the relaxed attitude of the figure give the composition a particularly lively presence. The beautiful, nuanced patina elegantly emphasizes the volumes and modeling of the bronze.

Very representative of the late 19th century taste for tender, naturalistic genre scenes, this bronze combines decorative quality with genuine artistic sensitivity. A refined sculpture, full of charm, ideal for a classic interior, a hobbyist's desk or a collection of antique bronzes.

Beautiful signature on the terrace: A. Lavergne.
