An African Couple By Frédérick Eugène Piat (1827-1903)
Modelled in a now well patinated bronze, the circular bases, inscribed with the artist’s name, support tree trunks, against which rest the young warrior holding his spear, and his partner, a draped young woman with a necklace of animal teeth.
French, Circa 1880
