Antique 19th Century Decorative Bronze Bust of Student

A charming antique 19th-century bronze sculpture portraying a cheerful young student, captured in a lively pose as he holds a book in one hand and a marble in the other. Full of character and life, the sculpture is highly detailed, with fine attention paid to the boy’s expression, clothing, and stance—bringing a sense of warmth and narrative to the piece. Crafted from good quality bronze, the sculpture has developed a rich, aged patina that enhances its depth and presence. There is a small crack on the lower left side near the base, but it is minor and does not detract from the overall beauty or integrity of the piece. Evocative and expressive, this is a sculpture with a story to tell—perfect for adding charm and personality to both antique and contemporary interiors. A wonderful talking point in any setting, and a delightful example of 19th-century bronze artistry.
