About the Item
This delightful cast bronze statue The Upholster’s Apprentice showcases a young boy, reclined and reading in the chair he is presumably working on. The boy should be busy at work, using the hammer that dangles from his left hand, the luscious roll of fabric beneath him, and the toolbox and ruler which are scattered below the chair. He dons a small smile while sat upon the half finished chair, unbothered and content.
The modeling of the statue overall is superb. Gaudez is a true master of the genre scene in sculpture, and this this piece perfectly exemplifies his skilled capability to realistically model the human body in relaxed positions. Moreover, the modeling of the carved wooden chair legs, soft dangling tassels, individual book pages, and bunched fabrics is incredibly crisp, almost leading me to believe that we may be able to learn something about 19th century upholstery practices from this piece. Set on a swivel base, it is quite easy to change the position of the statue, once it is placed.
Signed on the left, and stamped "H" with a foundry mark " Freres Editeurs - Paris - Susse" surrounding an emblem of three overlapping tools.
