Art Deco sculpture attributed to the French artist Marcel-André Bouraine. The composition features a sea lion in a vertical, dynamic posture, balancing a white marble sphere. The animal figure is cast in metal with an original dark patina, creating a marked visual contrast with the white marble used for both the balancing sphere and the cubic plinth base. The piece exhibits the stylized naturalism characteristic of the period, emphasizing geometric balance, the interplay of materials, and a great sense of movement.
