Allegory of a marine motif made in carved wood, this is a wonderfully whimsical and playful work by the talented and prolific French artist. Arthur Lutenbacher was born in Burgundy in 1916. At four years old, he moved to Saint-Paul where he began to sculpt and paint at a young age. In 1945 he bought an old 16th century house in the heart of the village, and there opened his studio. Signed on base "A Lutenbacher."
