Bronze Sculpture “Au Clair de la Lune” – French Art Nouveau, circa 1900

A charming bronze figure titled “Au Clair de la Lune”, depicting a young troubadour or street musician holding a mandolin. The figure is rendered with great liveliness and expression, dressed in a loose costume with ruffled collar, typical of late 19th-century theatrical attire.

The fine modelling and warm patinated surface exemplify the naturalistic style of French Art Nouveau sculpture. The work captures a moment of lyrical grace and playfulness, inspired by the famous French folk song of the same name, celebrating lightness and poetic emotion.

This sculpture rests on an integrated bronze plinth with the engraved title and displays excellent craftsmanship throughout. A delightful collector’s piece and an elegant accent for both classic and modern interiors.
