Girl with Lamb - Parian Ware Sculpture - Signed

Description
This parian ware sculpture shows a seated young girl resting her head on one hand while holding a lamb across her lap. Made in white parian with a matte finish, the figure is modeled with smooth surfaces and simplified forms typical of late 19th to early 20th century production. The elongated neck, softly defined facial features, and flowing hair reflect neoclassical influences common in Victorian and Edwardian decorative sculpture. The lamb serves as a pastoral motif frequently used in domestic ornamental figures of the period. The compact, balanced composition was intended for decorative display.
