    “THE RETURN FROM SERMON”—19TH-CENTURY SIGNED CHRYSELEPHANTINE SCULPTURE IN GILDED BRONZE
    Artist: J. Garnier and De Villanis,

    “The Return from Sermon” – Gilded bronze chryselephantine sculpture on a marble pedestal
    An elegant chryselephantine sculpture depicting a young woman in medieval attire, holding a book close to her, titled “The Return from Sermon.”
    The gilded bronze displays beautiful modeling, particularly evident in the folds of the long dress and the details of the costume. The bodice is embellished with relief motifs, while intricate braiding highlights the edges of the garment. A tall headdress frames the face and complements this slender silhouette.
    The finely carved ivory face and hands stand out delicately against the gilding. The young woman’s pensive expression and reserved posture are in keeping with the subject evoked by the title.
    The figure stands near an architectural element and rests on a rectangular pedestal bearing the title on the front. The ensemble is mounted on a dark marble base with a brecciated finish, crisscrossed by light veins whose hues highlight the luster of the gilded bronze.
    The pedestal bears two inscriptions, identified as “J. Garnier” and “de Villanis,” whose respective roles remain to be determined.
    Dimensions:


    Total height with pedestal: 21 cm


    Height of the statue alone: 19 cm


    Base of the marble pedestal: 6 × 6.5 cm
