Bust of a Child before 1905

"Bust of a Child" is a bronze sculpture created by French sculptor Aimé-Jules Dalou, renowned for his realistic and emotionally evocative works. The sculpture, which is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, portrays a young child with a melancholic expression, capturing the innocence and vulnerability of youth. The detailed rendering of the child's features and the smooth, polished surface of the bronze contribute to the sculpture's realistic and intimate quality. This piece is a testament to Dalou's mastery of sculpting and his ability to convey profound emotions through simple yet powerful imagery.
