Original, signed sculpture by Jean Garnier:
Jean Garnier was a 19th-century French sculptor best known for his bronze figures and decorative vessels. Throughout his work, he often depicted allegorical and historical subjects like Pierrot clowns, Joan of Arc, and Salammbo, in addition to vernacular figures such as musicians, dancers, or farmers. In several instances, Garnier created vases or pitchers that merged with figural forms, where one or more characters appear to be emerging from the surface of the vessel. Born in 1853 in Mouzeuil, France, Garnier would go on to exhibit at the Salon des Artiste Francaise, winning an honorable mention in 1892. The artist died in 1910 in Paris, France.
Personally owned for 51 years. This sculpture is of a woman on green stone. It is signed by the artist.
