Piced her up in Vermont. I don't know much about her or the artist. I did have to rewire it. I love it, and it looks great on top of my Victrolla....

"Semeuse" is the French word for a "sower" ( of seeds, the feminine form). It was also an image that any stamp collector will recognise as the female figure on French stamps in the first half of the twentieth century. This image, created by the French artist Oscar Roty, was later used on French francs and later on Euro coins.
Semeuse is also the name of one of the communes in the French region of the Ardenne.
You probably can't get more French than that!
And you picked her up in Vermont! In Montpelier? A Green Mountain gal!
WOW!! Thanks for all that GREAT info Vetraio50....I had no idea. I don't remember exactly where in Vermont I got her. The ex-wife & Iwent there in 2005 and toured the state. It was somewhere in mid-Vermont. Thank you so much!!
