    Bronze with Brown Patina dating from the 2nd half of the 19th century, representing a Couple Kissing in a Passionate Embrace.
    This Scene was immortalized by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) nicknamed "the Sculptor of Lights", one of the most important Sculptors of the 18th century and particularly of the Neoclassical period. Appreciated for the Realistic rendering of his works and his Extraordinary Talent, it was at the Royal Academy that the young prodigy won the First Prize for Sculpture in 1761, known as the Prix de Rome.
    "The Kissed Kiss" depicts a Young Man wearing a Headband over his Wavy Hair, languidly kissing a Young Woman in a Wispy Robe gently letting her Chest show through.
    A Crown of Flowers unites the two Lovers, thus emphasizing their Love and the Attraction they experience.
    The Young Woman abandons herself, wrapped in the Arms of her Beloved, in this Ode to Sensuality.
    This Work, Signed on the back, is presented on a Circular Foot, itself resting on a Square Base.
    This Bronze wonderfully embodies the Romanticism of the time and the Union of two souls, and will charm you with its Beauty and Delicacy.
