The Girl with the Conch Shell – Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux

The Girl with the Conch Shell (Fr. Jeune Fille à la Coquille) is a near lifesize marble sculpture made slightly after Carpeaux’s sculpture of a similar theme “Neapolitan Fisherboy” (MIN 1437). The work was actually just a study piece, with the artist having no intention to have it in a pair with its older brother. The works were acquired by Empress Eugénie and have been kept together since.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.
