A very fine quality Sevres bisque statue of a Doughboy walking with a German pickelhaube in his left hand and his Springfield rifle in his right. The symbol of victory. Remarkable attention to detail in both the uniform and equipment as well as in the youthful features of the soldier. The base is dated 1918 in the front and is signed Ducuinc. In addition there are three cartouche stamped into the side of the base, a rectangular stamp with SEVRES, a square stamp with LC and a partially obscured stamp with 1918 over DN and surrounded with what appears to be Delve Sevres. A very well executed sculpture. H:10.75", the oval base is 3.25"wide. In excellent condition, only slightly soiled.
