Child’s Bust. Gilt Bronze on Marble. France. 19th/20th Century

  

Pair of children’s busts, “Jean qui rit, Jean qui pleure” (“Jack Laughs, Jack Cries”). Unsigned, but resembling those by Houdon!

Bronze on marble, total height 19 cm. Weight: one 1.816 kg, the other 1.844 kg. Good condition, but needs cleaning; a small chip on the base of the marble and other flaws, see photos. We remain at your disposal for any additional photos.
