Here is a child as good as gold. For over 70 years, this Limoges porcelain bisque bust has been a creation from the workshops of Camille Tharaud (1878-1956), a renowned artist within the community of Limoges master ceramists in the early 20th century, renowned for his dreamlike blue glazes and works inspired by Neoclassicism and the Empire.

This bust is a matte white bisque porcelain version on a kiln-blue ceramic pedestal of the child Alexandre Brongniart, an emblematic work by Jean Houdon, a sculptor (1741-1828) renowned for his busts more lifelike than the living, particularly with his "gaze-returning" style, which he mastered.

His mischievous childlike air reminds us of our own childhoods! The innocence of a child, gazing into the future, smiling. What is he thinking? What is he imagining? This work surprises with its enigmatic expression that will make you smile too.

Porcelain lovers, especially bust lovers, don't wait any longer! Adopt this bust by Jean Houdon, revisited by Camille Tharaud (whose signatures are visible behind the shoulders and under the pedestal), who has transcended the interior decoration object to become a true work of art and collector's item!
