Brown patina bronze depicting a couple in a passionate embrace.
This scene was immortalized by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), nicknamed "the Sculptor of the Enlightenment", one of the most important sculptors of the 18th century and particularly of the Neo-Classical period. Appreciated for the realistic rendering of his works and his extraordinary talent, it was at the Royal Academy in 1761 that the young prodigy won the first prize for sculpture, known as the Prix de Rome.
"Le Baiser Donné" depicts a young man wearing a headband over his wavy hair, languorously embracing a young woman dressed in a vaporous gown delicately revealing her bosom.
A wreath of flowers unites the two lovers, underscoring their love and attraction.
The young woman abandons herself, wrapped in the arms of her beloved, in this ode to sensuality.
This work is presented on a pedestal resting on a circular anthracite-gray marble veined with white.
This bronze marvelously embodies the romanticism of the period and the union of two souls. It will charm you with its refinement and grace.
