Description from the seller

A striking pair of late 19th-century French dark patinated bronze mythological busts depicting a laughing Satyr and a Maenad (or Bacchante), representing dynamic figures from the retinue of Bacchus/Dionysus. Both figures feature highly expressive faces tilted dramatically to the side, with thick, heavily textured hair detailed with clustered grapevines, leaves, and berries. Each bust sits atop a polished bronze socle pillar, mounted onto an attractive, rounded reddish-brown brocatelle or rouge marble pedestal base. Each piece is clearly signed "G. MOREAU" incised directly into the reverse draping under the shoulder.

Dimensions: 40 x 10 x 10 cm (height x width x depth).

Shipped professionally packed with extra protection.
