Bookend; c. 1930. Metal with marble base and bakelite. Signed H. Moreau. Measurements: 12 x 6 x 4 cm; 2 x 8 x 12 cm (base). Bookend made of metal supported on a marble base. The piece represents an elephant with its trunk upwards and its mouth open. Despite the realism sought by the author, both the posture and the technical treatment of the animal's body indicate a certain abstraction.
