"Orangutan" is a striking sculpture by François Pompon, renowned for his animal sculptures. It portrays the head and shoulders of an orangutan with remarkable realism and detail. The sculpture captures the animal's pensive gaze and thoughtful expression, showcasing Pompon's keen observation of nature and his ability to translate it into art. Though the sculpture is not dated, it likely dates from the early 20th century, when Pompon was at the height of his career. This piece reflects the Art Deco movement with its focus on simple forms and naturalistic subjects.
