Bronze Sculpture Louis Antoine, Dauphine of France$995.00
An exceptionally detailed bronze sculpture represents Louis Antoine, then Dauphine of France, or crown prince under his father, Charles X, King of France. The engraved inscription on the base is a Latin motto of gracious mercy, "Victory without Scourge." The Dauphine holds a scroll engraved with the story, "Spaniards believe in the word of a Bourbon." This refers to his assistance to a fellow Bourbon family member, the king of Spain, whom he helped quell an insurrection in Alcobendas, near Madrid, in 1823.
