Émile Carlier (1849-1927) - Sculpture, La belle et le faon - 30 cm - Fountain of Art - 1900

Magnificent and imposing Art Deco sculpture entitled "The Beauty and the Fawn"

Émile Joseph Carlier (1849-1927) - The Beauty and the Fawn
Important large-scale cast sculpture with argenté and doré patina, resting on a remarkable polychrome marble inlay plinth.

This spectacular composition portrays a young woman. The model is characterized by an attitude that is natural, graceful, and sensuous: the body is rendered with suppleness, while the inclined face and the delicate gesture of the hand create a silent exchange with the animal.

The metal reflections highlight the facial modeling, the fineness of the hair, the curves of the silhouette, and the flowing folds of the fabric. The fawn, peacefully nestled against the young woman, brings softness and poetry to the scene.

This composition thus combines sensuality, elegance, and animal poetry, in the spirit of the great French decorative sculptures of the Belle Époque.
