AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Seule figurine by the French sculptor Emmanuel Villanis is a beautiful example of his characteristic style. The work exudes elegance, with detailed forms and a sense of melancholy, typical of Villanis's creations. The figurine is fully solid bronze and contains both the artist's signature and the seal of authenticity from Société des Bronzes de Paris.

Although the original pedestal is missing, the statue is in excellent condition, with a beautifully preserved patina and sharp details. The asking price of €2,500 is based on the current market value of Villanis’ works, with comparable pieces, depending on condition and completeness, often sold between €2,000 and €3,500.

This figurine offers an excellent opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of Villanis and French art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
