Patinated Bronze – 19th-Century French Grand Tour Reduction – ‘Pigalle’ style c.1880.
An elegant 19th-century French patinated sculpture created as a high-quality Grand Tour reduction following the classical works in the style of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714–1785). The figure beautifully captures the seamless blend of playful Rococo movement and strict Neoclassical anatomy that Pigalle was legendary for throughout the French court. The piece boasts a deep, authentic patina that catches the light spectacularly across its contours.
