The man holds in his hand a bird which seems to have escaped from a cage held by the woman. The details are of great precision.

Very good overall condition, no breakage or lack, the earth having taken on a beautiful patina over time. What is surprising is that the title inscribed on the base does not correspond to the modeled group. It must be an error of the time, making it a rarity.
