Featuring a finely crafted, large cabinet sculpture, this masterpiece art product is a highly detailed, scaled-down replica of the famous work, 'A young mother from Boulogne, nursing her child', envisioned and brought to life by the eminent French sculptor, Aimé-Jules Dalou, in 1878. Measuring approximately 37cm and weighing around 10 kg, this high-quality cabinet sculpture is a remarkable echo of the realism-infused signature style of Dalou.

Dalou's original work has resonated so deeply with art enthusiasts worldwide that it achieved the highest selling price among all his creations. In 2014, it was swept up at a Sotheby's auction by an anonymous buyer for a whopping 362,500 pounds, underlining its significant value in fine art circles. This substantial cabinet sculpture aims to render that same experience and appreciation to art lovers in their personal space.

An ardent advocate for realism, Aimé-Jules Dalou (1838-1902) was a luminary in the French art scene of the 19th Century. Famous for his monumental bronze monuments that grace the cityscape of Paris, Dalou's masterpieces have garnered a host of prestigious awards at exhibitions.

This scaled-down sculpture mirrors the same sophistication, skill, and narrative as its original counterpart, capturing an intimate moment of a mother nursing her child, a moment that is universal, timeless, and evokes a plethora of emotions. An exquisite piece of art for your cabinet, each material detail effectively translates the warmth of Dalou's vision and judicious craftsmanship.
