This adorable 19th-century terracotta sculpture, a reproduction of a work by Nicolas Lecorney, portrays a young girl in a tender, innocent pose, captured mid-gesture as she raises her fingers to her lips in a moment of quiet thought or playful coyness. Dressed in a delicately draped tunic, the figure’s softly modeled form reflects a sensitivity to both naturalistic anatomy and emotional expression.
Despite two mising fingers on her left hand, the sculpture retains its expressive power, thanks to the finely detailed features, such as the curled hair, rounded cheeks, and bare feet, that infuse the piece with warmth and humanity. Resting against a lightly sculpted support, the figure’s posture feels both grounded and intimate, emphasizing the charm of childhood captured in clay. 
Nicolas Lecorney, born in 1825, was a noted sculptor of the 19th century, active at the Salon from 1880 to 1884. His works often reflect a deep appreciation for realistic detail and emotive expression. With its modest scale and classical sensibility, this piece is ideal for display on a mantel, console, or bookshelf, offering a touch of 19th-century romanticism and artistic delicacy to any interior.
