Charles H. Humphriss
Old Soldier

1910

About the Item

Humphris is a highly acclaimed American sculptor and created a large body of work of Western subject matter, particularly of the American Indian so rare to get a soldier. He did live and cast ultimately in New York and was a regular exhibitor and participant at the National Academy of Design. Here he has the soldier with both a trumpet and a rifle and the stance is one of casualness and good spirit. This would have been a small edition cast before the sculptor's death. A good size for a desk or table or mantle! Nice patina. American, 1867-1934 Old Soldier Bronze Inscribed: CH Humphriss and ROMAN BRONZE WORKS N-Y- 19 ¾ H inches

Joie De Vivre, bronze figurative dance sculpture
Located in Greenwich, CT
This joyous in the round bronze can turn on its base, making for dramatic presentation and enjoyment that is interactive. It is based on the idea of the Three Graces which is often an allegorical subject in sculpture. Wein has done a contemporary feeling interpretation of this classic theme. Piece itself measure 12 1/2 inches and sits on a 3 1/4 inch base and is attached to its base at two points and it is a revolving or rather turning base. The two points on which the toes touch and are secured are striking for how little of the bronze touches the base. It is Fourth in an edition of 13. Albert Wein...
