Rare bronze subject with medal and nuanced green patina signed by the artist René Paris. This work depicts a soldier from the First World War, standing in a proud and dignified posture despite his injuries. He wears a helmet and a military uniform, with a belt equipped with pouches. On his shoulder he holds a rifle, while his right hand rests on a makeshift cane. On the terrace are engraved the title “Souvenir de Souchez”, the artist’s signature and the seal “C.Valsuani Cire perdu”. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base in sea green marble. This work reflects a concern for authenticity and pays tribute to the soldiers of this era, capturing the spirit of resilience and courage of the fighters of the Great War. ********* Period: Early 20th century Good condition.
