French 19th century school in the taste of Étienne Maurice FALCONET (1716-1791). Child with cage and Child with nest. Pair of partially gilded terracotta proofs presented on gilded wooden bases. Dimensions of the terracottas: 25 x 19.5 x 10.5 cm and 24.5 x 21 x 12.5 cm. Dimensions of pedestals: 4.5 x 22 x 11.5 cm. (one bird missing, patina worn, small chips and chips missing). Note: Introduced by Jean-Baptiste PIGALLE (1714-1785), the themes of Child in a Cage and Child in a Nest were taken up by Étienne Maurice FALCONET, particularly during the period he directed the Sèvres ceramics factory, between 1757 and 1766. The craze for these charming, pastoral subjects continued until the end of the 19th century. Expert : Cabinet LACROIX-JEANNEST
