Spain, late 19th century / early 20th century. This is a bronze sculpture of a boy, made by famous Spanish sculptor Josép Cardona i Furró (1878-1922). Cardona was a good friend of Pablo Picasso and also shared a studio with him. He is part of the second generation of Spanish modernist sculptors. He worked mainly in Spain, but also did work in Paris - which might explain the French inscription on this very sculpture. A joyful and delicate work, which shows a boy standing very casual with his hands in his pockets. The boy is in short trousers and wears a cap. Very well proportioned and sculpted. Signed J. Cardona on two places and with a casting mark on the back. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
