Sculpture after Hippolyte François Moreau (1832-1926), French artist recognized for his work, who exhibited at the artists' fair and won a medal at the universal exhibitions of 1878 and 1900.
This patinated spelter print titled "End of Day" features a young peasant woman dressed in traditional clothes and wearing a headscarf. Her benevolent face is turned towards the sky and she sketches a smile. In her left hand she holds her bale fork and, with her right hand, she holds plants in her dress.
This bucolic work is signed "F.Moreau" and bears the stamp "Fabrication Française Paris" from this foundry specializing in the reproduction of sculptures in spelter and bronze, from 1892 to the First World War.
Positioned on a circular wooden base, this graceful proof will delight lovers of poetic and harmonious works.
