Description
Patinated bronze sculpture of a man and his son by Henri Plé
French, Late 19th Century
Height 78cm, width 44cm, depth 40cm

This intricate sculpture captures a touching scene from a bygone era: a full-length figure of a man, attired in rich furs that signify his stature, tenderly embracing his young son. The intimate moment suggests a poignant farewell, perhaps indicating the man's impending departure to the tumultuous battlegrounds. Their expressions and posture reveal the depth of their bond, a mix of love, anxiety, and impending separation.

Set atop a finely crafted, naturalistic square plinth, the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the sculpture. The base proudly bears the signature 'Henri Ple', signalling the artist's dedication and craftsmanship in encapsulating such a profound moment in bronze.
