It expresses a daily moment of a boy on his way to school with a solid sense of volume and restrained movement. The wrinkles of the clothes, the expression of the accessories, and the overall proportions strongly reflect the stylistic characteristics of 19th-century French realistic sculpture, making it a work with sufficient completeness as a sculpture for appreciation. This work is particularly noteworthy for the inscription of the work title "CHEMIN de L'ECOLE" on the base, distinguishing it from mass-produced decorative items and making it a bronze work with the appearance of a fine art sculpture. The weight of approximately 6kg and the impressive size of 46.5cm in total height give it a sense of status as an indoor sculpture and a collector's piece. The aging changes (verdigris, depth of color) unique to antique bronze are not excessively lost, and it maintains a good state of preservation that does not impair its appreciation value. In the domestic market, 19th-century French figure bronze sculptures of the same genre have a limited distribution volume, making it a genre with few opportunities to obtain. This is a work recommended for those who collect fine art sculptures and Western antiques. ■ Dimensions & Weight Total Height: Approx. 46.5cm (including base) Figure Body: Approx. 31.5 × 13 × 11.5 cm Weight: Approx. 5.88kg ■ Material ・Bronze ・Stone base (black) ┏︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎┓︎ #◆Sato Shoten◆sato_syoutenAntique ┗︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎┛︎ ☝︎ See other antique items 　　　　　　【#◆Sato Shoten◆sato_syouten 】 　　　　　　　☝︎ See all products on sale
