About the Item

A late 19th-century French bronze sculpture titled "Fairy with Butterfly" by Franz Rosse (1858-1900), signed and dated "Frosse 93" on the base, depicting a semi-dressed woman floating above sunflowers and foliage, her right arm raised, gazing at a butterfly perched on her hand. Very good condition, with only age-related wear. Franz Rosse (1858–1900) was a German sculptor, primarily active in Berlin. Here are some key facts about him: Profession: Sculptor, known for both monumental works and decorative miniature bronzes. He is also sometimes mentioned as a painter. Education: He studied sculpture in Hanau and later at the Akademie der Künste (Academy of the Arts) in Berlin. Notable Works: He created the monument of Wilhelm I in Rathenow. His smaller, decorative works, often Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) in style, include numerous bronzes of figures like Oriental dancers, fairies, nymphs (e.g., Orientalische Tänzerin, Elfe mit Schmetterling or "Fairy with Butterfly," and Water Carrier). Active Period: Late 19th century, roughly from the 1880s until his death in 1900.
