Brown patina bronze sculpture depicting a young woman seated, crowned and draped in the antique style, holding a sickle. Probably the mythological figure of Ceres, goddess of agriculture, harvests and fertility, to whom the sickle is sometimes attributed. Author of a bronze statue of "Jacques Callot" for the city of Nancy, Eugène Laurent (1832-1898) exhibited a number of plaster busts and medallions at the Salon between 1861 and 1893, as well as a bronze statue of "Psyché" in 1886, and two statuettes, one in marble, of "Joan of Arc" in 1890, the other in terracotta, of "Jacques Callot" in 1893. Several of his works were published in bronze, including "Joan of Arc". There is also a statuette of a "Jeune Faucheur" bearing the Thiébaut stamp and a statuette of a "Pêcheuse" (Fisherwoman), said to have been produced in several sizes.
