Important Terracotta Bust signed by the Angevin Sculptor Léon Morice (1868 - 1930), bearing the mark of its Manufacturer "R. d'Arly" in Paris, and representing a fisherman holding the helm.
The Subject is dressed in a jacket and rain hat, and seems ready to face the elements.
The expression on his face, weathered, reflects a life of hard work on the waves of the Atlantic.
His look, his frowning eyebrows and the folds of his mouth let us imagine a fierce determination and a strong character.
The weight of his task can be guessed by his bent shoulders, but is counterbalanced by the firmness of his grip and the impression of strength that emanates from it.
The fury of the ocean is imaged at the base of the object by curves reminiscent of the waves.
The Work offers a fine tribute to sailors and their courage in the face of the dangers of the sea.
