Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

20th century terracotta representing the bust of an Asian figure. Sculpture after the work of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux(1827-1875). The model for this bust corresponds to the preparatory study of the figure of Asia made by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux in 1868, when the city of Paris commissioned the architect Gabriel Davioud to design a fountain for the Avenue de L'Observatoire. For this project, the sculptor designed a group of four figures supporting a hollowed-out globe embodying The Four Parts of the World supporting the celestial sphere.
Traces of polychromy. Good overall condition, with a few missing pieces on the back (see photos).
52x 41 x 16 cm. Consult us for shipping costs. (Free for Paris and suburbs).
