Beaumarchais Buste by Jean Antoine Houdon


This stunning bust showcases the remarkable talent of Jean Antoine Houdon, a renowned sculptor during the French Enlightenment. Houdon was widely recognized for his expertise in portraiture, and this particular masterpiece captures the likeness of Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a multifaceted figure in French history. Beaumarchais' extraordinary life encompassed diverse roles such as a watchmaker, inventor, playwright, musician, diplomat, spy, publisher, horticulturist, arms dealer, satirist, financier, and revolutionary. The sculpture, measuring 45 cm, remains in pristine condition and bears Houdon's signature, making it a valuable and captivating French antique.
