Bronze Bust Of Augustin Morel (1817–1899) – André-louis-adolphe Laoust, Cast By Barbedienne, 1
An elegant bronze bust with a brown patina depicting Augustin Morel (1817–1899), a prominent industrialist from Roubaix and an inventor who contributed to the development of the French textile industry in the 19th century.
The work is signed by A. Laoust and dated 1877, a year that likely corresponds to the subject’s sixtieth birthday. It was cast by the prestigious F. Barbedienne foundry in Paris, a leading name in 19th-century French artistic sculpture.
The portrait captivates with the finesse of its modeling, the realistic facial expression, and the elegance of the costume, enhanced by a fur collar and a boutonnière. A beautiful period edition bringing together a renowned sculptor and one of the most famous French foundries.
