• Material: Usually executed in regulé (also known as spelter or zinc alloy) with a bronze-colored or brown patina, mounted on a wooden base.
. Period: Late 19th century.
. Dramatic scene of a shipwrecked sailor who has stranded on the rocks. He grasps the broken mast of his ship with one hand and, with his other arm, desperately waves a cloth in the air to attract the attention of a passing vessel.
