About the Item

Superb 19th century bronze sculpture by Auguste Moreau depicting a classical female figure surrounded by playful cherubs. The woman draped in flowing robes looks upward with a joyful expression as one cherub perches upon her shoulder and another reaches from below. The group is modelled with the grace and sentiment typical of Moreau’s romantic style capturing movement and tenderness in exquisite detail. The bronze displays a rich dark brown patina with subtle highlights emphasizing the naturalistic textures of the drapery and skin. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, with beautifully cast features and excellent surface finish. Signed ‘Moreau’ in the cast About the Artist: Auguste Moreau (1834–1917) was a member of the renowned Moreau family of sculptors from Dijon, France. His romantic allegorical works, often featuring youthful figures, nymphs, and cherubs, became widely celebrated during the Belle Époque period. Moreau exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1861, and his bronzes remain highly sought after by collectors today. Condition: Excellent overall condition with a consistent patina. Dimensions: Height: 59 cm (23.23 in) Width: 30 cm (18.81 in) Depth: 26 cm (10.24 in) Dated 1890
