The patina is original, natural, unaffected. The woman is elegant with a raised leg. She wears the animal in a delicate way, a gentle look. In addition, the work is very well base, in fact a red Languedoc marble supports the base with an ornamentation, it, in a more Napoleon III inspiration. We then see after a ring with the signature and then again, a base in Languedoc marble. Everything is characteristic of Henri Levasseur.
