Description

Pair of bronzes with brown patina taken from the poem, written in the 18th century by Voltaire, entitled "Jean qui rit, Jean qui pleure" evoking the versatility of the human being. This work is made after the work of the French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828). This artist, also called "the sculptor of lights" is renowned for the realism of his productions.
This bronze pair represents two children surmounted by a crescent moon. One laughs out loud while the other cries out loud.
These tests will appeal for their poetic and philosophical connotation.
