    Subject in Patinated Regula, that we owe to Louis (1855-1919) and François (1857 -1930) Moreau, two brothers also known for their Ornamentations of Clocks and Trimmings of Fireplaces.

    The artists have represented here a Shepherdess, sitting on a rocky seat. Her position is reminiscent of an Amazon. Crossed, her two legs are placed on the same side: on the left. Her long hair is pulled up into a Bohemian-style bun, in a disheveled spirit accentuated by the presence of a scarf tied on her neck. The young worker is dressed in a long dress with sleeves rolled up on her upper arms. Her hands, equipped with needles, are devoted to knitting, and her feet are bare: the Pastourelle allows herself a moment of relative respite.

    A Sheep, classically wearing a Bell around its neck, accompanies the Damsel. The woolly-fleece animal is isolated from his flock, probably because he is 'The Favourite', a title that can be read on the golden plaque nailed to the base.

    The latter is circular and molded. It is made of Wood, imitating a Red Marble.

    As a guarantee of authenticity, the signature of the sculptors is affixed to the bottom of the scene. One will also note the presence of a Stamp attesting to the French Manufacture of this Work, which most certainly made a stopover in a Vendée Jewellery store, as the label of the 'Gold Cameo' stuck on the back lets it suppose.

    The artists share with us the privileged relationship between this Sheep and its Guardian, who is working to transform the fruit of her labor into a warm garment.
