Iconic characters, an exceptional object!

Entirely shaped by hand by a talented artist, this sculpture faithfully conveys the energy and liveliness of Hergé's original line. It was cast in bronze by a French art foundry bearing the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label – a mark of artisanal excellence.

Every step of its creation was carried out with extreme attention to detail in order to give each piece its own unique and singular soul.

Depending on the viewing angle, the piece invites the eye to wander and the imagination to follow the characters through space and time.

A rarity that grants each piece the status of a collectible artwork.

The sculpture is presented exclusively at the Tintin Boutique and at the Hergé Museum Bookshop, two emblematic locations of Tintin culture.
