About the Item
These graceful sculptures were created in the late 19th century by the prestigious French sculptor, Auguste Moreau (1834-1917). Auguste was born into a family of artists, which included his father Jean-Baptiste and his two older brothers Hippotyle and Mathurin. Auguste produced beautiful, naturalistic sculptures, often with an allegorical or pastoral subject matter. He exhibited his work regularly at the Paris Salon from 1861-1913. These items are signed ‘Aug Moreau’.
The sculptures take the form of free-standing, full-length female figures. Both women are young and are depicted striding forwards with their backs slightly bent and their heads turned to face one another. They are depicted barefoot, wearing simple dresses and bonnets. One girl carries a bread basket and sheaf of wheat, while the other holds a group of fowl and basket of fruit. The figures stand on circular bases, which are modelled as grassy mounds. These are encircled by decorative bands featuring oak leaf wreaths tied with ribbon bows. The bases are set on circular ebonised wood plinths.

Pair 19th Century French Bronze Statues by Auguste Moreau
1855-1919
Located in Dallas, TX
Pair 19th Century French bronze statues by Louis Auguste Moreau (1855-1919) are exemplary examples of the glorification of the simple rural life celebrated by artists in France during the Belle Epoque. A distinctive departure from rendering affluent families and lifestyles as dictated by the many patrons of art over the centuries, this informal movement gave a glimpse into the lives of everyday people. In this example, we have two young maidens, one carrying a bundle over her shoulder and a basket in her left hand, while the other totes a basket over her shoulder and a couple of protesting chickens in her right hand! Each maiden is modestly dressed...
