Villenauxe - Francois-Michel Pascal - Statue

A beautiful, rare, and completely authentic antique French bisque porcelain sculpture titled “Wartendes Mädchen” (or “Jeune fille assise sur un tronc d'arbre”). This refined sculpture was designed by the well-known French sculptor François-Michel Pascal (1810–1882) and made around 1880 by the renowned French factory Manufacture de Villenauxe (then under the direction of Victor, Mauger & Tessier). The sculpture has the luxurious matte appearance of white marble (Parian ware) and depicts a seated, melancholic girl on a tree stump. Important Features & Authenticity: Artist: François-Michel Pascal (incised signature on the tree stump). Manufacturer: Manufacture de Villenauxe (bearing the rare, original circular factory mark “V.M.T. Villenauxe” on the base). Model / Casting Number: 2130 (clearly stamped into the porcelain, indicating the rarer large version). Height: Approximately 30 cm, 19 cm wide and 17 cm deep (large model). Details: Features the original firing- ventilation holes in the base, essential for the hollow firing process used for this type of high-quality porcelain. In very nice antique condition.
