Elegant Art Nouveau Design by Paul Mengin

The French Bronze Mandolin Player by Paul Mengin Art Nouveau Maiden Figurine 1890 is a magnificent representation of late nineteenth-century French sculpture. Created by celebrated French sculptor Paul Mengin (1853–1937), this graceful bronze depicts a young woman seated peacefully with her mandolin resting across her lap. Rather than performing, she appears lost in quiet reflection, giving the sculpture remarkable emotion and character.

Every detail demonstrates exceptional artistry. The flowing folds of the maiden's dress, the delicate modelling of her hands, expressive facial features, and beautifully sculpted hair all reveal the extraordinary level of craftsmanship achieved by Mengin. The sculpture perfectly captures the flowing organic forms and natural beauty that define the Art Nouveau period.

Having been acquired from respected Paris antique markets, this authentic bronze remains in excellent condition and is ready to become the centrepiece of any distinguished collection.
