Life Size Terracotta Of A Little Girl Playing With Her Dog Signed

Little Girl in a Morning Negligee Playing with Her Little Dog By Alphonse Van Beurden. an impressive realistic terracotta (Belgian realism) at scale 1.
This is therefore an important terracotta representing a little girl playing with her dog and signed Alph Van BEURDEN for Alphonse Van Beurden on the terrace and dated 1880, the details are charming and very nicely executed, look at the dog's hair, his attitude when wanting to play, the child's smile!

Alphonse Van Beurden is a Belgian painter and sculptor, born in 1854 and died in 1938.
his works can be found in Belgium and France, he shows astonishing dexterity in rendering life and movement through his sculptures and an astonishing skill in playing with natural child attitudes or contrasting with fantastic characters: I have already presented a superb life-size faun head on Proantic which appeared in the form of an old man with a long beard and slightly mysterious pointed ears!

Excellent condition but one of the little girl's feet was glued back together a long time ago, it is almost invisible.

A superb waxed terracotta-colored patina,
be careful this is an artist's terracotta executed by the author of the work and not a print as we see in the same way as most bronzes.
