The Fairy Mélusine and Knight Raymondin, carved in 1894 by Jean Dampt
This striking Symbolist piece captures a quiet moment between the knight Raymondin and the mythical fairy Mélusine. Jean Dampt utilized a mix of steel, ivory, and gold to contrast the rigid texture of the armor with the soft form of the figure.
Artist: Jean Dampt (1854–1945).
