Magnificent bronze with green patina, signed Frédéric Focht, celebrating the legendary figure of Jean Mermoz, one of the greatest French aviators. This striking sculpture captures the heroic and dynamic essence of Mermoz, symbolizing his courage and spirit of exploration.

This work of art, resting on a black marble base, is much more than a simple decorative object. It embodies the history and heritage of an era, perfect for art collectors or aviation and history enthusiasts.
Frédéric C. Focht (1879-1937) was born in Paris in 1879 and studied under the famous sculptor Falguière.
