Bronze with Brown Patina entitled "Rêverie au bord du Lac" signed Edouard Drouot (1859 - 1945).
This French Sculptor is known for his Sculptures of Allegorical Scenes which are characterized by a Sense of Movement and an impressive Expressive touch.
"Rêverie au Bord du Lac" is a Sensual Work, featuring a scantily clad woman in a semi-reclining position, leaning on one elbow and stroking a Swan.
Face turned to the Horizon, lost in her thoughts, she wears a wide ribbon in her long hair styled in the style of the Belle Époque.
Her body is covered with a light and transparent veil, highlighting her delicate curves and heightening her voluptuousness.
The Swan, symbol of Grace and Beauty, stands at his side, seeming tamed as bewitched.
Fascinating and Gracious, this young woman reminds us of Leda, the Queen of Sparta who was seduced by Zeus transformed into a swan.
Edouard Drouot signs here a Unique Work, in praise of Femininity which seduces with its Harmony and Poetry.
