Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The sculpture depicts a man playing a wind instrument as he walks. He is barefoot and wearing draped clothing - possibly a tunic or robe. His head is slightly bowed, and he carries a sack over his shoulder. Walking alongside him is a dog, attached to a leash, with its gaze focused forward. The sculpture is carved into a stone-like slab, predominantly grayscale in color. The scene is presented in relief, capturing a moment of movement as the subjects proceed on their journey.
