This elegant gilded bronze sculpture, signed by Gustave Dussart (1875-1952), represents an allegory of time, embodied by the mythological figure of Chronos. The figure is sculpted carrying a globe-like clock on his back, a classic motif symbolizing the personification of time in Greek mythology. The muscular body of Chronos, his resolute posture, and the inclusion of a scythe emphasize the inevitability of the passage of time. The work rests on a white marble base, featuring the inscription "LE TEMPS" and the artist's signature, G. Dussart, attesting to its authenticity and origin.
