Maurice Roger Marx (b.1872) for Sevres. Porcelain / Parian Sculpture Standing an impressive 25 1/2” tall. Signed by both sculptor and manufacturer as shown in images below. Note that there is a similar model produced in bronze which realized just short of $7000 at Freeman’s. We stole the title from that work, but note that the bronze depicts a seated pensive monkey whereas this Parian figure depicts a joyful mother with her sleeping baby in her arms. Condition is very good though there are a few minor flaws. Small chip to bottom left hand corner, small chip to back of head off of hair at neckline, tail possibly smoothed over, and miniscule roughness to left ear point. No apologies but rather an accurate condition report. Again, neither the sculpture nor I will apologize for such a phenomenal and charming work of art. Lastly, rare and essentially unobtainable.
