Elegant pair of small biscuit sculptures depicting the allegory of painting and sculpture. The two works, clearly inspired by classicism, show two elegant and refined women, dressed in chiton and with their hair gathered. The sculpture representing painting shows a woman intent on painting on a canvas with a palette in her hand, while the other representing sculpture shows a woman working on a warrior's bust with a mallet and chisel. The two figures are seated on nineteenth-century armchairs, one with flared legs and the other with legs in the shape of an animal's paw. The mastery and delicacy of the biscuit work give the works a timeless elegance, making them perfect for lovers of classical art and refined aesthetics. French manufacture from the early 19th century. Measurements: H x L x D 18 x 11 x 16cm
