D'après Auguste Moreau (1834-1917) - Statue, Cupidon - 63 cm - Bronze

Title: Large patinated bronze sculpture “Cupid / Angel” – Attributed to Auguste Moreau – 62 cm
Description:
Charming and important late 19th-century sculpture (Napoleon III period) in solid bronze with a bronze base also depicting Cupid (the angel of love) in a dynamic pose, with a drape around the waist and wings spread. The bronze terrace is richly decorated with floral relief motifs showing original nuances of polychromy.
Stylistic attribution:
Although the piece bears no visible signature on the terrace, all artistic and technical elements clearly converge toward the work of the famous French sculptor Auguste Moreau (1834-1917).
The graceful, airy treatment of the subject, the typified cherubic face with finely curled hair, the fluid, light drapery in motion, and the bucolic composition of the flowering terrace are the indisputable visual signature of the master’s creations. It is a high-quality art cast from the period with veryFine execution.
