Important Biscuit, Signed M. Moreau - 2nd Part Of The Nineteenth

Mathurin Moreau is a renowned French sculptor, brother of the no less famous Hippolyte and Auguste. He is renowned for his decorative sculptures and depictions of feminine grace and delicacy. "The Young Girl with a Broken Jug" represents a young person seated near a spring, a headdress in her hair, dressed in a long dress. His jug is broken. Although showing an everyday act, that of fetching water from the source, this work also carries a moralizing warning. Indeed, the broken jug is one of the well-known codes to evoke the loss of virginity. The distraught gaze, the legs tight against each other, the arm against the stomach, “The Girl with the Broken Pitcher” then takes on a whole new meaning. This Mathurin Moreau biscuit will seduce you with its imposing size, as well as its beauty and finesse.
