In A.E. Gaudez's sculpture "Lulli Enfant," a young boy is depicted engaging with his violin, plucking and tuning its strings with a focused and joyful demeanor. The intricate detailing of the violin, complete with four metal strings, adds a layer of realism to the scene. The boy, wearing a beret atop his head, a shirt-dress, coat, long trousers, and knee-high boots, stands on a corner stepping stone, showcasing a playful yet poised stance. With a sash bunching to the side of his thigh, he carefully rests a buckled boot on the edge, emphasizing his connection to the environment. A discarded cloth beneath him hints at the possibility of this moment being a stolen break from shining shoes to reveal his musical talents.
Crafted entirely in bronze and meticulously handmade, this sculpture exemplifies the artistry of A.E. Gaudez. The brown patina, achieved through the "Lost Wax Method," enhances the depth and texture of the piece. Mounted on a round brown patina base and further elevated on a second black marble base, the sculpture gains a striking and distinguished presence. The careful positioning of the young musician on these bases not only adds visual appeal but also highlights the craftsmanship involved in presenting this artistic creation.
E. Gaudez's signature on the sculpture serves as both a mark of quality and a nod to the artist's commitment to detail. The scene captured in "Lulli Enfant" invites viewers to appreciate the intersection of youthful exuberance, artistic expression, and the skillful hands that brought this bronze masterpiece to life, making it a captivating addition to any art collection.
