"The Child with the Lizard," a 19th-century regule statuette with a brown patina, signed by Hyppolite Moreau
Created by the French sculptor Hyppolite Moreau (1832–1926), this regule sculpture depicts a charming little cherub sitting on a bed of roses. The poor little one is utterly startled at the sight of a lizard that has come to disturb his peace.
An allegory of discovering potential danger, it is delightful to see emotions we all experienced as children reflected in this charming little statue.
In excellent overall condition, this charming allegory featuring a childlike figure will be perfect as a decorative piece or collector’s item, in the spirit of 19th-century neoclassical art. The more creative among you might even use it as a paperweight.
Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
