AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This statue depicts Joan of Arc standing, in armor, holding a flag in her raised right hand. The object has a slender silhouette, the posture evoking the historical figure, recognizable by her traditional attributes: detailed armor on the bust and legs, serene face turned forward, flag rolled and proudly held aloft. The statue is light gray to bluish-gray in color, with visible traces of patina and wear, particularly on the raised areas and edges. The surface shows an aged appearance, typical of old or vintage objects, with darker areas accentuating the sculpted details.

The piece is fixed on a rectangular base, sculpted to imitate stone, adding to the authentic appearance of the whole. A hook or ring is integrated at the top of the sculpture, suggesting that it could be hung or displayed vertically. The statue is presented in an old original case, lined with an orange-brown fabric, the interior of which shows traces of wear and detachment of the lining, reinforcing the impression of antiquity of the whole.

The flag held by Joan of Arc is partially painted in dark blue and brown tones, with areas of alteration that reveal the underlying material. The details of the face, hands and armor are still clearly visible despite the wear of time. No markings, inscriptions or signatures are legible on the visible face of the statue.

Style and manufacture

The ensemble presents a retro aesthetic, typical of commemorative or religious objects from the early to mid-20th century. The patinated appearance, stylized forms and molding technique relate this statuette to the artisanal or semi-industrial production of the period. The object is designated as bronze in the keywords; the surface shows a matte and worn finish, reinforcing this aspect.
