19th Century French Statuette

This exquisite 19th-century French bronze statuette is a masterful representation of Neoclassical artistry, showcasing the grace and romanticism characteristic of the era. The sculpture depicts a winged muse or angel, poised in a moment of serene elegance as she plays a lute. Every detail has been rendered with precision, from the delicate strings and ornamentation of the lute to the intricate folds of her flowing drapery, which seem to ripple as if caught in a gentle breeze.
