French Patinated Bronze Female Figure, Signed Bouret, Grenoble 1911

BDST20193008

An elegant bronze figural sculpture depicting a finely dressed young woman standing beside an ornate architectural pedestal. The figure is beautifully modeled with a graceful pose, delicately rendered facial features, and exceptionally detailed period dress, from the ruffled collar and fitted bodice to the richly patterned folds of the skirt.

The elaborate pedestal, floral ornamentation, and finely chased decorative details complement the figure and give the sculpture a refined European character. A warm, naturally aged bronze patina enhances the depth and texture of the modeling throughout.

Signed “Bouret” on the pedestal, the sculpture also bears a presentation plaque inscribed “XIème Fête de Tir — Grenoble 1911,” adding an interesting historical element to the piece.
