Mother and a baby faun
Circa 1935
Plaster
H. 94 cm
Unsigned
Interesting group by the sculptor Geneviève Granger of a woman with a baby faun. Even though the motif of mother and child was popular with Granger, this mythological version is very original. The baby faun with the ears of a goat, little horns, and a little tail, looks at his mother affectionately while he presents her with a rose. Whether the mother is of the species of faun or of human being is hard to tell, suffice to say her face is beautiful and she has a hair cut with a very 1930s fringe It is a very large sculpture, almost one meter high, in plaster on a wooden armature.
