17th Century Louis XIV Stone Garden Sculpture of Playing Children
-
Description
Important and very charming stone group of children, one watching over his sleeping companion. Sculpted In the spirit of the "Marmousets" where, along the "Allee d'Eau", similar stone groups of frolicking children adorn the four corners of the pond at the gardens of Chateau de Versailles. The sensitive execution and the dynamic composition are reminiscent of the work of Gerard van Opstal (1605-1668) and Pierre le Gros the Elder, a French sculptor in the service of King Louis XIV and the son in law of the builder and architect Jean le Pautre.
Moderate weathering and some losses, as to be expected - More Information
