The statue was cast at Acienne Maison Barbizet in Paris.
It has a cast mark:
AB 271
This proves that it is an early edition from the period when the foundry used the artist's original molds.
They held the exclusive rights to produce certain Auguste Moreau designs around 1890-1910.
The pose with the finger to the mouth is a classic gesture for silence or a shared secret. The statue is 28 cm high.
