Other Views of Monsieur LeVasseur's fine work...
 (B) This coquettish muse was executed in white alabaster on a marble plinth by A. Cipriani, a well-known sculptor in such stone. His subject's flowing dress evokes the feeling of Art Nouveau, but she's probably from a later time, more into the Art Deco era... Egyptian revival, ya know? She stands 21 tall, 19 1/2 wide, 6 1/2 deep. She coyly holds her hands over the sphinx's eyes, lest her doubtless erotic fantasies be discovered... Click here for closer views of Cipriani's muse...

(D) AND JUST SHOW ME a collector or collection which is complete without a couple of wrestling cupids...!!!! I'm guessing that these fellows are fighting over a fallen heart -- either that or one of them dropped a twinkie. Our statue, in terra cotta, is 18 inches tall. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(E) "Purete," huh? Well, we all have our cross to bear. I'll keep mine to myself for the moment, count yourself very fortunate! Anyway, getting back to business, she's close to 2 feet tall, cast plaster. Who knows, maybe she was the prize in an 1890 "knock over the iron milk bottles" contest at the county fair. We'll be dreaming about you, Purete... SOLD!!!

(A) The waviness of these young
mens' hair and the flowing quality of their pantalons brings
to mind the sensuous styling of the Art Nouveau period... Signed
H. LeVasseur, standing 20 inches tall and about 17 wide, a tour
de force depicting and symbolizing cooperation, intimacy,
strength, and other positive male attributes...
