The work depicts an elderly couple engaged in intimate conversation with extraordinary naturalism and psychological sensitivity. Hauchecorne's sculptural skill emerges in the careful rendering of facial expressions, expression lines, and the soft volumes of the drapery. The warm, natural golden patina of the terracotta lends the work depth and great period charm.
Gaston Hauchecorne, known for his sojourns in the Far East (he was a professor in Beijing and consul in Chongqing), developed a unique sculptural style in the 1920s that blended Art Deco essentiality with a lively, humane, and sometimes ironic observation of popular and Eastern subjects.
