Artist, French, 1857 - 1927

The sculpture depicts a reclining male figure with muscular features, positioned in a relaxed pose. It is rendered in a monochromatic hue, likely due to the material, which appears to be stone or a similar substance. The figure leans back slightly against a large basin or urn, which features intricate details that resemble large leaves or petals. Below the figure, there is a stone representation of grape clusters and large leaves, adding to the naturalistic elements of the piece. The sculpture is captured in an outdoor setting with trees visible in the background.
