Mathurin Moreau (1822–1912)

Angel and young figure duo in a dynamic, spirally structured composition with powerful classicizing body shaping. The gesture of the winged figure and the young man's slightly backward posture indicate a clear hierarchy and leader-follower relationship. The bronze surface treatment is even, and the details – especially the anatomy and drapery – suggest careful craftsmanship. The foundry mark visible on the base classifies the work among the series-produced but high-quality salon bronzes of the Moreau workshop.
