Bronze with brown patina depicting Voltaire by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), a brilliant portraitist nicknamed the "sculptor of enlightenment".
This work represents the philosopher, whose real name was François-Marie Arouet, then nearly 80 years old. His face is marked by a smile and his gaze seems to be always full of curiosity.
Remarkable for its finesse of execution, this bust rests on a circular pedestal.
At the back, we find the signature of the founder Barbedienne and the stamp " mechanical reproduction A. Collas".
Attaching and symbolic, this bronze is a vibrant tribute to the French philosopher who marked the eighteenth century by his talent and intelligence.
