Calamine sculpture. Signed “Aug. Moreau.” Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze titled “The Fountain” by Mathurin Moreau, and pieces by Hyppolyte Moreau or Auguste Moreau (France, 1834 – 1917). Auguste began his training as a disciple of his older brother Mathurin. He debuted at the Paris Salon in 1861, where he participated regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His themes - genre scenes, pastoral, allegorical - and his style, realistic and full of grace, link him with other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small-sized bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists' lives and after their deaths.
