Lovely vintage figure is a patinated bronze sculpture of a woman holding a agricultural tool, likely a sickle or sheaf, similar to works by Émile Guillemin. It is designed with a brownish patina and is mounted on a carved wooden base, often titled "Surprise" or "Moissonnante". Sculptures of this type originated in France during the 19th or early 20th century, representing rural or Belle Époque themes. The material is commonly bronze or a white metal alloy with a bronze-toned finish. Photos are part of the description. Will be sent with safe packaging.
