"Patinated Plaster Bust Entitled "why Be Born A Slave" After Jean-baptiste Carpeaux"

Patinated plaster bust entitled "why be born a slave" after Jean-Baptiste CARPEAUX.

This bust, representing a chained black woman, is a faithful replica of one of his masterpieces made around 1868. The title of the work "Why be born a slave", underlines the sculptor's indignation at the injustice and oppression suffered by slaves. The woman's face, turned towards the sky, expresses both pain and an aspiration for freedom. The fine features and the intense gaze reveal a deep humanity, characteristic of Carpeaux's style.
