Majestic and strikingly realistic, this bust of Henri Mondor , made of patinated terracotta, is a testament to Arestakes' sculptural virtuosity. The artist captures the concentrated and penetrating expression of a man of science, paying homage to the intellectual and humanist stature of the famous French physician and academician. The piercing gaze, the features hollowed by time and the meticulously crafted garment give the piece a remarkable intensity and nobility.
Mounted on a stone base, this portrait is not only a work of art but also a vibrant historical testimony, on the border between realism and commemorative sculpture.
