19th-Century Belgian Bronze Figure of a Woman by Bouré

An elegant 19th-century Belgian bronze sculpture depicting a young woman standing barefoot in traditional rustic dress upon a finely modeled naturalistic base.

The figure is beautifully cast with particular attention to the woman’s expressive features, flowing garments, detailed folds of the fabric, and surrounding vegetation. The surface retains a rich warm brown patina that enhances the sculptural depth and character of the bronze.

Signed “BOURÉ” on the integral base and attributed to Antoine-Félix Bouré (Belgian, 1831–1883), the work reflects the accomplished figurative modeling associated with Belgian sculpture of the 19th century.

With its graceful stance, naturalistic detailing, and distinguished European character, this bronze makes an impressive addition to a collection of 19th-century sculpture, Belgian decorative arts, or fine antique bronzes.
