Description :

Signed bronze sculpture by A. G. Moreau, titled Sisters, depicting two barefoot girls in pastoral dress—one holding a basket of flowers, the other resting her arm affectionately around her companion. The figures are rendered with lifelike detail and finished in a rich polychrome patina, blending natural bronze and verdant green tones that accentuate the drapery and expressive features. They stand on a rocky base mounted to a circular green marble plinth. This romantic composition reflects Auguste Moreau’s celebrated style of allegorical childhood scenes and tender emotion.

His works often reflect a poetic sensibility and are prized for their expressive charm and decorative elegance.
