George A. Lucas 1890

This bronze bust of George A. Lucas, created in 1890 by French sculptor Augustin Jean Moreau-Vauthier, is a realistic portrayal of the subject. The detailed rendering of Lucas's features, including his thick beard and furrowed brow, creates a sense of depth and individuality. Mounted on a red marble base, the sculpture showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subject and imbuing the work with a sense of gravitas. This piece exemplifies the realism and technical proficiency characteristic of 19th-century French sculpture.
