Important Group In Plaster "the Wolf And The Lamb", By Fa. Piquemal - Late Nineteenth

Important subject representing an ingenuous young woman courted by a young man. "The wolf and the lamb" is a sculpture by François Alphonse Piquemal (1869-1911), a pupil of Cavelin, who appeared in the salon and received the honorable mention in 1909. It is also inscribed "Nardi Editeur" on the back of the work. The young lady, dressed in a vaporous dress and wearing a bustier revealing her breasts, is seated, her shy eyes lowered, sporting a delicate smile. We imagine her blushing, flattered by the attention paid to her. A man stands behind her, interested in the beauty. He pays court to her, standing nonchalantly against a wall surmounted by a basin. "The wolf and the lamb" is an allegory to this fickle man who covets this beautiful young lady, sweet and naive. This romantic work, reminiscent of a scene from the Louis XV period, will charm you with its grace and poetry. ******** Period: Late 19th century Excellent condition.
