J. Cardona after Pascau, L’Écolière, Early 1900s, Bronze

About This Piece

Proof in bronze with multicolored patina (medal, brown and green) signed José Cardona (1878-1922) Spanish sculptor living in Paris during the Belle Époque. He received an honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1906.
Cardona was inspired by a painting by the artist Eugene Pascau (1875-1944) entitled "The Schoolgirl" presented at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1905.
This work depicts a young child carrying a lunch basket and a book. Her small size makes them appear large.
Her face highlighted by its beautiful patina medal, the child sketches a smile. She turns her head and eyes to the left in an adorable pout.
Dressed in a headdress with small ruffles and a shawl covering her dress and school outfit, the little girl walks with her beautiful shoes.
The artist's signature is engraved on the terrace.
Her beautiful size and charm make this bronze a touching and charismatic work.

* Eugène Pascau is recognized as a painter of genre and portrait; he was a student of Philippe Jolyet and Léon Bonnat.
Director of the Bayonne School of Painting, he participated in the Salon des Artistes Français and became a member in 1899.
He is exhibited at the Bayonne Museum and the Orsay Museum in Paris.
