Proof in high relief entitled "La Pensée", signed by the French sculptor Henri Chapu (1833 / 1891), a prolific and recognized artist under the Second Empire. His works were notably published by the greatest foundries of the time, such as the one of Thiébaut Frères, whose stamp adorns the left side. Here he represents an allegorical figure of Thought, in the guise of a young woman wearing an elegant antique drapery and holding a scroll. At her feet are books and a quill, attributes related to reading and writing. Behind her is a bust of Minerva, the Roman deity of wisdom and intelligence. This bronze is mounted on a red marble base veined with white.
This delicate work will enchant you by the fineness of its details and the quality of its realization.
