Young woman crying - Albert Bartholomé (1848-1928)

Jeune femme pleurant, assise sur une borne, un voile sur les genoux, gilded bronze sculpture by Albert Bartholomé, published by Siot-Decauville.

This statuette was published by Siot-Decauville and exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. The work is a detail of the Monument aux Morts in Père Lachaise, a grandiose work that was a triumph for the artist.
Bartholomé himself suffered the pain of bereavement when he became a widower, and this breeding ground of feelings enabled him to express its most touching aspects.
