This striking bust captures the youthful innocence and quiet intelligence of a young boy, sculpted in 1898 by French artist Alexandre Morlon.
Signed and dated on the reverse, this evocative piece exemplifies the emotive realism and refined craftsmanship for which Morlon was known, prior to his acclaim as a medallist and sculptor of historical figures.
Modelled with remarkable attention to detail, from the softly curling hair to the lifelike gaze and period clothing, the bust is finished in a creamy glaze that enhances its sculptural depth.
Raised on a turned pedestal base, it presents beautifully from all angles—whether displayed on a mantle, console table, or within a curated collection.
