AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant and refined allegorical sculpture depicting 'La Fortune', created by the famous French sculptor Georges Bareau and dated 1894.

The winged female figure represents Fortune, a symbol of destiny, success and prosperity. The work stands out for the quality of the modeling and the balance of proportions, typical of French sculpture at the end of the nineteenth century, between academism and the early influences of Art Nouveau.

The statue is made of patinated bronze and rests on a solid base of veined green marble, which enhances its dramatic presence and elegance.
The base bears the original tag with the inscription:

“LA FORTUNE – by G. Bareau (Beaux-Arts 1894)”

Authentic antique sculpture, not a modern reproduction.
