Charles Anfrie (1833–1905) “Figaro” Patinated Bronze Sculpture

BDST20193007

A finely detailed bronze figural sculpture titled “Figaro,” depicting an elegantly dressed musician holding a guitar. The figure is beautifully modeled with an expressive face, elaborate period costume, and carefully rendered details throughout the clothing, hands, and musical instrument.

The warm bronze patina highlights the sculptural details and gives the piece a rich, classical character. Presented on a tiered circular base, the sculpture has an elegant vertical presence and works beautifully as a decorative accent in a library, living room, study, or collected interior.

The front plaque is inscribed “FIGARO — par A. Riffle (Sculpteur),” identifying the title and sculptor.
