"Plaster Sculpture Signed Provin Serres, 19th Century"
Plaster sculpture representing a young boy in Renaissance costume playing with a dog, an emblematic scene of 19th-century academic representations. This work is signed “Provin Serres”, an artist active at this time, known for his creations in the academic style and his mastery of classical forms, who is also a close student of Mathurin Moreau. The plaster work highlights the details of the draperies and expressions, characteristic of sculptures intended for elegant interiors or public spaces. This piece, probably an original work or from a limited series, constitutes a representative example of French academic art.
