    This pair of bronze busts represents two male figures embodying human evolution through the ages. The first bust illustrates the Stone Age, identifiable by his primitive appearance and his club. The second embodies the Iron Age, recognizable by his wrought-metal axe, a symbol of technical progress. Each sculpture is meticulously detailed, reflecting the skills of late 19th-century sculptor Jean Garnier. The busts are signed on the base, confirming their authenticity and artistic value. Measuring around 15 cm in height, they are in the tradition of the French school. Created in an educational and decorative spirit, these bronzes bear witness to an era when art was used to convey history and the great evolutions of civilization. Their meticulous finish and expressiveness make them prized pieces for art lovers and collectors alike.

    Jean Garnier (1853-1930) was a French sculptor renowned for his bronze sculptures, often inspired by historical, religious or popular figures, in a naturalistic style tinged with Art Nouveau. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, winning an honorable mention in 1892. His works include busts of Pierrot, Joan of Arc and Saint John the Baptist. Garnier also mastered pewter, enamel and ceramics, and sometimes collaborated with other artists, such as Emmanuel Villanis.
