French 19th Century Bronze Statuette of a Winged Muse Playing a Lute on Marble Base
In this exquisite French 19th-century bronze statuette, a winged muse or angel is captured mid-performance, her fingers poised upon a lute as flowing drapery cascades around her figure in elegant, arrested motion. Her serene expression and dynamic contrapposto pose embody the Romantic ideal — art as transcendence, music as the language of the soul — rendered here with exceptional sculptural command.
Cast in rich bronze with a warm, meticulous patina that deepens every detail — from the instrument's delicate form to the layered folds of her gown — the figure is mounted on a richly veined marble base with gilt accents, lending the composition a formal grandeur befitting a 19th-century collector's cabinet. A beautiful accent for a music room, a library mantelpiece, or a curated salon arrangement alongside other Romantic bronzes.
Representing the finest tradition of French Romantic bronze casting, this winged muse statuette is a collector's piece of enduring appeal — one that speaks equally to lovers of music, mythology, and the decorative arts. Dimensions on file; please inquire.
