This is a beautiful classic piece by Eutrope Bouret of a Mother and Child. As can bee seen in the photos the right arm has become loose, the bolt holding this part of the casting is not as tight as should be -the location of the bolt is shown in the last two photographs. Eutrope Bouret was a French sculptor. Best known for his Neoclassical bronze pieces, he focused on historic themes and mythology while incorporating external materials and devices such as marble, plaster, terracotta and lighting fixtures. Born on April 16, 1833 in Paris, France, he went on to study under the French decorative sculptor Louis-Charles-Hippolyte Buhot. Bouret received commercial and critical success during his lifetime, notably being commissioned to sculpt the tombstone bust of the popular French novelist and fellow bronze sculptor, Alexis Bouvier. He exhibited at the Paris Salon regularly until his death on September 30, 1906 in Paris, France.
