The present bronze bust shows a portrait of Pierre-Jean de Béranger (1780-1857) and is probably the work of a French sculptor from the 19th century. The bust depicts the poet and songwriter as an old man with distinctive facial features and hairless skull. His head is slightly tilted, and his expression seems to be melancholic and absorbed in thought.
The bust is inscribed with ‘Béranger/D'après nature’ and bears an indistinct foundry mark on the reverse. It shows some scratches and areas of abrasion consistent with age. The base is a bit loose. The overall height, including the base, is 36 cm. (cko)
