A spelter sculpture depicting a young boy picking fruit from a tree. Entitled Autumn and signed by Mathurin Moreau, it is part of the late 19th-century production, which sought to illustrate scenes of daily life and the seasons through popular figures. Mathurin Moreau is known for this type of accessible composition, intended to adorn bourgeois interiors and demonstrate a taste for nature and work. The whole rests on a simple marble base and adopts the decorative codes of his time without exaggeration.
