Description
Antique Bronze Alloy Joan Of Arc Statuette, French Early 1900s. This is a vintage gilt brass or bronze-patinated metal statuette of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc), the famous French heroine and Catholic saint. This specific pose is a highly reproduced design modeled after the famous 1837 marble statue of Joan of Arc Praying by Princess Marie d'Orléans (daughter of French King Louis-Philippe). She is depicted wearing full plate armor with her hands crossed over her chest, holding her sword upside down to form a crucifix. Her helmet (sallet) sits on a small pillar or architectural tree stump behind her. These miniature versions were commonly manufactured in Europe (frequently stamped "France" on the back) during the late 19th to early 20th centuries.
