Important bronze with brown patina signed on the base Jean Baptiste Germain (1841-1910). This French sculptor, a pupil of Dumont and Gumery, received honors from his peers during the Universal Exhibition of 1900.
“The Young Girl with a Broken Jug” represents a young person standing next to her broken jug on the ground, her gaze distraught, clutching her long pleated dress with both hands.
This work carries a moralizing warning. Indeed, the broken jug is a well-known symbol that evokes the loss of virginity.
This test, which takes on another dimension, will appeal above all for the finesse of his work.
