19th Century French Sculpture

This exquisite 19th-century French bronze sculpture captures the essence of rural life through the figure of a young peasant boy. The boy is depicted with a charming, rustic appeal, dressed in a loose shirt with rolled-up sleeves, knee-length trousers, and a wide-brimmed hat. He is barefoot, emphasizing his humble origins, and is shown holding a small bundle or object close to his chest, while his other hand adjusts the strap of a satchel slung across his body. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the lifelike posture and the intricate folds of the boy’s clothing, creating a sense of movement and realism. The warm patina enhances the texture and depth of the bronze, making this piece not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical reflection of 19th-century rural France. This sculpture is a fine example of French craftsmanship from the period and would make a striking addition to any collection of antique bronzes or 19th-century European art.
