Decorate a desk, library shelf, or lady’s office with this elegant antique bronze sculpture titled La Cruche Cassée (The Broken Pitcher). Crafted in France circa 1880, the composition depicts a young maiden seated on a naturalistic trunk-form base, her head gently bowed in a moment of quiet reflection as she holds the broken vessel at her side. The graceful pose, flowing garments, and sensitive modeling exemplify the refined academic style of the period.
The sculpture is signed on the base by renowned French artist Mathurin Moreau and bears the inscription “Hors Concours,” along with a foundry stamp indicating “Médaille d’Honneur,” attesting to its quality and recognition. A titled brass plaque is affixed to the front, further enhancing its presentation.
