The sculpture portrays a young Savoyard traveler holding a walking stick, dressed in traditional attire with exceptional attention to detail. Blavier’s academic training is evident in the expressive facial features, naturalistic pose, and richly textured clothing.
The bronze bears the artist’s signature “E. Blavier” and the date “1884” cast into the base, confirming its authenticity and 19th-century origin. The surface displays a warm, deep patina consistent with age. The piece is mounted on its original carved wooden base, enhancing both stability and presentation.
A museum-quality decorative bronze, ideal for collectors of French academic sculpture, and perfectly suited for a library, study, or refined interior.
