Juan Clara Ayats – Girl In A High Chair, Bronze Sculpture, Signed

Juan Clara Ayats. Girl in a High Chair.

A finely observed cabinet bronze depicting a small child seated in a high chair, captured at the moment when quiet repose turns into restless movement. The sculpture is cast, chased and patinated bronze.

The figure is rendered with notable sensitivity: tousled hair, rounded cheeks, soft limbs and the loose folds of the dress are modelled with vivid naturalism, while retaining a refined decorative character.

The work accords with the known production of Juan Clara Ayats, a Spanish sculptor particularly associated with patinated bronze figures of children. Signed Juan Clara and numbered on the reverse of the chair.
