DESCRIPTION
Pair of French Art Nouveau figures, ca. 1895.
"Young people with fruit baskets".
Patinated calamine.
On wooden bases.
Exhibits wear consistent with age and use.
Measurements: 36 x 10 x 10 cm each figure; 3 x 14 x 14 x 14 cm.
Pair of French decorative sculptures representing girls dressed with tunics of classical inspiration, arranged in a dynamic attitude. They carry baskets and bunches of fruit, a motif associated with abundance, fertility and the natural cycle of the seasons.
This type of calamine sculptures were widespread in France at the turn of the century, intended for the decoration of bourgeois interiors. They imitated bronze models at a more affordable cost, while maintaining a remarkable ornamental presence.
