    Hi all! I picked this up at my usual thrift store. Initially my research kept pointing towards a sculpture by Auguste Moreau titled Confidence. (https://worldofbronze.com/confidence.html) However, this is clearly a modern reproduction attributed to him with no provenance. I’m unable to find the original piece. I then stumbled upon this - https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/bronze-figural-grouping-after-theophile-somme-95-c-4a1435f9d2 which is signed with a completely different name and slightly attributed to Theophile Somme.

    Does anyone know the origin of this?
