Joan of Arc in Prayer - Marie d'Orléans (1813–1839) Bronze with black patina – 19th century

Height: 34 cm

A contemplative and introspective figure of Joan of Arc, depicted in the meditative pose conceived by Marie d'Orléans, one of the most celebrated and insightful interpretations of the French heroine in the 19th century. This sculpture is crafted in bronze with a beautiful, deep black patina and subtle highlights, emphasizing the purity of the lines, the delicacy of the facial features, and the delicate rendering of the armor.

It bears the mark "Virot A", referring to the famous foundry house A. Virot, active in the 19th century and renowned for the quality of its artistic castings, as well as the date 1843, corresponding to the creation of the work.

An emblematic work of French religious romanticism, this Joan of Arc combines fervor, introspection, and formal nobility. It naturally finds its place in a characterful interior, a 19th-century bronze collection, or a private devotional space.
