Description: This listing is for a genuine French fine art bronze by L Goyeau - little information about this sculptor online but exhibited at Musée d'Orsay in Paris and known to have been active between 1890 and 1920. A web search will find many Goyeau sculptures reproduced in terracotta or spelter (cheap zinc alloy). This is an original bronze casting - see the underside of the base. The detail includes his hair, detailed buttons and the seams in his hat, jacket and trousers. Gavroche is a character in Les Miserables (book 1862, stage and screen later). He is a street urchin neglected by his parents and during a gunfight with the French National Guard he runs for gun cartridges and is shot dead. 13½" high, base 5" x 5¼". Free UK postage. Elsewhere £40.
