About the Item

A charming and high quality pair of French 19th century Louis XVI st. Onyx and patinated Bronze busts. These wonderful Bronze busts depict 'Jean qui rit et Jean qui pleure' Jean who laughs and Jean who cries. This French phrase depicted in Bronze and Onyx describes someone who alternates between being joyful and sorrowful, capturing the duality of human emotions. The Onyx bases display a mottled and stepped plinth which introduces the statues above. All original patina throughout.
