An impressive Art Deco bronze bust of a man, titled Le Rhône, created by renowned French sculptor André César Vermare, winner of the Medaille d’Honneur. Cast in bronze with a warm brown patina, the sculpture rests on an elegant Portor marble base. Signed A. Vermare, this authentic piece measures H. 45 cm x L. 38 cm x W. 18 cm (17.7 x 15 x 7.1 in).
