French 18thcentury Diderot sculpture, with papers in one hand
About the Item
An 18th-century man, possibly Diderot, with papers in one hand in another, with a walking cane, on an (ebonized) wood plinth.
Exquisite and very refined bone carving of the illustrious man of the French Enlightenment, Diderot. Worked with great delicacy and in very good condition for its use and age.
The character represented, Diderot, wears the jacket of the time and carries sheets of papers in one hand and a command staff in the other. It is also noticeable that he keeps papers in his bag.
He rests on a cylindrical and ebonized base.
Denis Diderot (Langres, October 5, 1713-Paris, July 31, 1784) was a decisive figure of the Enlightenment as a French writer, philosopher and encyclopedist.
