Captivating head of a young boy by the sculptor from Nice, Michel de Tarnowsky, made in stoneware at Charenton-le-Pont by La Société des Grès artistiques de Charenton (Barthe & Mettais-Cartier). The late Pierre Biessy, president of the Association of Friends of Michel de Tarnowsky, told me that he thought it was a portrait of the sculptor's son.
