About the Item

after Lambert-Sigisbert ADAM (1700-1759) "Child with a crayfish" Sculpture made in bronze with a brownish green patina bears an apocryphal mark "Pigalle" 18th c. model created by Lambert Sigisbert Adam late 19th century edition cast France height 46 cm width 32,5 cm depth 23,5 cm The 18th c. model is of "Child with a crayfish" was created by Lambert Sigisbert Adam. A plaster cast was exhibited at the Salon of 1740, and was described as being cast in bronze. Other versions are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Detroit Museum, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. "Child with the Crayfish" was also sculpted in marble and placed in the green room of the Château de Neuilly belonging to the Count of Argenson. Son of the sculptor Jacob Sigisbert Adam of Nancy, Lambert-Sigisbert Adam (1700-1759) was the eldest of brothers who were themselves sculptors. Trained by his father in Metz, and in Paris in the workshop of François Dumont, he won the Prix de Rome in 1723. Lambert-Sigisbert spent ten years at the French Academy in Rome. During this long stay in Rome, he acquired a technique and a sensitivity which linked him to a late Baroque. This is evidenced by his predilection for depicting water, through sculptures intended for fountains or allegories. In 1731 he won the competition for the Trevi Fountain in Rome, but Pope Clement XII did not follow the jury's choice and commissioned Nicola Salvi. Returning to Paris, Lambert-Sigisbert Adam worked on the famous waterfalls of the Château de Saint-Cloud (River Seine and RIver Marne), sculpted the central group of the Neptune basin of the Château de Versailles (Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite, 1740), worked at the Palace of Sanssouci in Potsdam (Hunting and Fishing). For his reception at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1737, he presented a "Neptune calming the irritated waves".

Antique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" circa 1905

Located in SANTA FE, NM

Antique Bronze Dog Portrait of a Cavalier King Charles "Thigley" French School (possibly Franck Burty Haviland) Lost wax bronze casting Circa 1910 5 7/8 x 9 x 3 1/4 A sophisticated bronze casting of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel made in lost wax casting (cire perdue) from the beginning of the 20th century by Valsuani Foundry. This an unusual bronze approached in its aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the work of great animal sculptors of the second half of the 19th century except in this presentation which is more avant-garde for the time with a much looser, more impressionistic execution. The patina is a superb bronze color, brown and slightly greenish, going in places towards a more antique green. The attitude of the dog is extremely well and sensitively rendered with the placement of material unlike the renderings of a bronze by Barye...
