This charming early 20th-century French sculpture combines the elegance of gilt bronze and the lifelike detail of ivory to create a captivating piece. Depicting a young child in period attire, the sculpture features exquisite craftsmanship, with the face and hands delicately carved in ivory, bringing a sense of realism and personality to the work. The child is dressed in a flowing coat and scarf, frozen in a moment of movement, showcasing the dynamic artistry characteristic of the era. Mounted on a polished marble base, the sculpture is not only stable but also visually enhanced by the harmonious contrast between the gleaming gilt bronze and the smooth, natural tones of the marble. Likely crafted during the Belle Époque or Art Nouveau period, this piece reflects the sophistication and artistic excellence of French decorative arts of the time.
