    An elegant bronze with a brown patina depicting a young man carrying a kid over his head, attributed to the sculptor Charles Alphonse Achille Gumery (1827–1871), a renowned artist of the Second Empire.
    The figure captivates with the grace of its composition: the slender body adopts a supple, contrapposto pose, one leg crossed over the other, lending the whole a natural and harmonious movement. The youthful, smiling face, framed by delicate curls, expresses serene gentleness, while a fur draped over the shoulder adds a touch of classical refinement.
    The kid, held at arm's length, is rendered with particular care: finely textured fur, a lively pose, and masterful balance. The piece demonstrates great virtuosity in anatomical modeling and the quality of the chiseling, characteristic of the work of Gumery, a student of Jouffroy and a leading figure in 19th-century academic sculpture.

    The deep, even brown patina highlights the volumes and the interplay of light on the bronze surface. The work rests on a simple circular base that reinforces the verticality and elegance of the figure. The signature "Gumery, Rome" is affixed to the base.

    A rare and vibrant piece, where the artist's sensitivity meets the brilliance of bronze to offer any interior a presence that is at once noble, lively, and timeless.
