Bronze sculpture by Léo Laporte-Blairsy, depicting a milk carrier
The bronze has a deep, luminous brown patina, highlighting the details of the drapery and the serene expression of the figure.

This work demonstrates the refined talent of Laporte-Blairsy, a French sculptor renowned for his graceful and harmonious compositions.
The cast was made by the renowned founder Houdebine, guaranteeing exceptional craftsmanship.
Late 19th-century France

Léo Laporte-Blairsy (sometimes spelled Laporte-Blaisin or Blairzy) was a major sculptor, medalist, and decorative artist of the Art Nouveau movement. He was born in Toulouse on April 5, 1865, and died in November 1923—some say in Cugnaux, others in Paris. A student of Alexandre Falguière and Antonin Mercié at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Houdebine Foundry guarantees that the piece was cast by a prestigious workshop renowned for its quality casting, decorative excellence, and international awards. Present at the major World's Fairs of the 19th century, the Houdebine Foundry has long been an influential player in Parisian artistic metallurgy.
