Florentine singer of the XVᵉ century is a work signed on the terrace of the French sculptor Paul Dubois (1829-1905).
The original in plaster, awarded at the Paris Salon in 1865, was reproduced in several copies, including the one offered here, by the founder Ferdinand Barbedienne.
Charming and full of life, this bronze sculpture with brown patina represents a neo-Florentine singer playing the mandolin. The upper part has many details, such as buttons, drapes or hair, while the bottom is smooth.
This subject rests on a molded circular plinth, in Belgian cherry marble, on which is affixed the inscription "Jacques Rouche L'Ecole Polytechnique 4 Mai 1919".
The Florentine Singer of the 15th century, with a graceful bearing, inspires youth and love.
