    This bronze with medal patina, entitled "La Défense du Drapeau" (Defense of the Flag) by Charles Anfrie (1833-1905), depicts a soldier in action, standing on a rocky base. The soldier, dressed in military uniform and wearing a cap, holds a pistol in his right hand, pointing it forward. In his left hand, he brandishes a flag, which seems to float behind him, adding a dynamic to the scene. The base of the sculpture bears the inscription "La DÉFENSE du DRAPEAU" and the artist's signature on the terrace. The meticulous details of this work emphasize courage and patriotism, themes dear to the period. A historical testimony to the courage of the French military during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, this sculpture will delight you with its charisma.
    Charles Anfrie (1833-1905) was a renowned 19th-century French sculptor whose predilection was for historical and mythological themes.
