"Jean-baptiste Carpeaux Head Of The Neapolitan Fisherman Child Bronze Signed 19th Century"
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875), French sculptor, created this head of a Neapolitan Fisherman Child, inspired by his travels in Italy. This signed bronze bust dates from the 19th century and illustrates his naturalist approach and attention to detail. The child's smiling and expressive face, as well as the meticulous work on the headdress, reflect the influence of realism in his work. The old patina highlights the volumes and finesse of the sculpture.
