Large Silver Bronze Forming Vase Signed Kley Around 1900

Silver bronze forming a vase circa 1900.
This silver bronze represents a naked child holding a vase.
the details are lovely and the child seems to be looking at us while holding his vase resting on a flowered terrace.
this is a larger bronze than usual for Louis Kley (1833-1911), a sculptor in Sens who often used to treat smaller subjects in general, moreover often children or cherubim.
we feel the art nouveau movement emerge from this charming sculpture with its flowered terrace, the naturalistic side appearing on the edges of the vase and the movement in the child's hair, his decided air ... a work in the spirit of the movements of the time. Note that not only is Kley's subject larger than usual but it also has a dual function: a decorative sculpture and a vase.
the beautiful can be useful.
this silvered bronze rests on a plinth in Italian cherry red, which is often found in the plinths of Kley's bronzes.
signed L.Kley on the terrace.
good general condition despite some penniless places.
Take a good look at the photos, thank you.
