French Bronze Sculpture Of A Woman In A Cape
A study in grace and movement, a sensuous young woman comes to life in this compelling French sculpture. Captured in bronze, the beautifully cast young woman holds a cape to her lovely form, which dramatically billows around her as though caught by a gust of wind. The bronze has achieved a wonderful rich brown patina marvelously, showcasing its age. The sculpture rests upon a marble base bearing the inscription “Frie De Vencennes Ed 5″.
By Charles Louchet, French, 19th Century
