Patinated bronze sculpture representing a seated child feeding a bird, after Pigalle.
The original "the girl with the bird and the shell" is a counterpart to "the child with the cage" by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.
The naked child is seated on the grass and to his right is a seashell. A form of sweetness emanates from the child's gaze. Her innocent face exudes the happiness of feeding the bird.
Its pendant, "the child with a cage" represents a naked little girl with an open cage in her hand. The bird flew away. The child with a sad look looks at the sky. Image of the naivety of children, of the first pains, far from the sorrows of life.
Dimensions of the base: L: 17cm; D: 17 cm
