Antique French statue

Statue – Paris – Belle Epoque period – End of around 1800 – Bronze with dark patina.

One of the most curious statues Rattopennugo has ever handled: it depicts a hand in a sweet and elegant pose, all in bronze sculpted in black patina.

Paris, Belle Epoque Period, around the end of 1800s, large dimensions.

Notice the detail of the tapered fingers and the fluttering sleeve edged with lace.

Patina and wear, but perfect antiquity.
