About the Item

Anonymous, Soaring Eagle, mid-20th century Patinated cast metal mounted on quartz block. 24 cm (total height) x 29 cm (width) x 12 cm (depth). - Patina heavily rubbed in places, screw connections between sculpture and stone and one leg attachment loose. - With eagle eyes - Sitting on a rock, the eagle has spotted something low below and spreads its wings to fly away from its eyrie. The asymmetry of the wings gives the bird of prey a special dynamism, while the bowed head and open beak anticipate the arrow-like speed with which the eagle will pounce on its prey. The light quartz base, which shines through from behind, provides a harmonious colour contrast to the eagle, which is further emphasised. GERMAN VERSION Anonymus, Auffliegender Adler, Mitte 20. Jh. Patinierter Metallguss auf Quarzblock montiert. 24 cm (Gesamthöhe) x 29 cm (Breite) x 12 cm (Tiefe). - Patina stellenweise stärker berieben, Verschraubungen zwischen Skulptur und Stein und ein Beinansatz gelockert. - Mit Adleraugen - Auf einem Felsen sitzend hat der Adler etwas tief unter ihm erspäht und breitet die Schwingen aus, um von seinem Horst loszufliegen. Die Asymmetrie der Flügel verleiht dem Raubvogel eine besondere Dynamik, während der nach unten gereckte Kopf und der geöffnete Schnabel bereits die pfeilartige Geschwindigkeit vorwegnimmt, mit welcher der sich der Adler auf seine Beute stürzen wird. Der helle von hinten durchscheinende Quarzsockel weist einen harmonischen farblichen Kontrast zum Adler auf, der auf diese Weise nochmals hervorgehoben wird.

Pecheur / - Full of anticipation -
Located in Berlin, DE
Adolphe Jean Lavergne (1863-1928), Pecheur, c. 1900. Brown patinated bronze with rectangular cast plinth on a green marble base (3 cm high), total height with hinge 37 cm, width 9 cm, depth 8 cm, weight 2.9 kg, signed “Lavergne” on the plinth. - Base with old drilling and a few oxidized areas, patina occasionally rubbed, somewhat stained in the folds. - Full of anticipation - This bronze is the larger, highly detailed version of the fisherman that made Parisian artist Adolphe Jean Lavergne famous. In preparation for fishing, the boy prepares his rod before heading out to sea. The attachment of the iron ring and the rope behind him suggest a quay wall and a boat moored there. However, the depiction is entirely focused on the actual action of the young fisherman: With equal skill and concentration, he bends a hook to connect it to the fishing line. The contrast with his casual clothing, the loose-fitting trousers, the open shirt with its "wild" folds, and, last but not least, the sun hat boldly perched on his neck, reinforces the impression of the attentive care with which he goes about his work. His gaze makes him appear absorbed, as if he has forgotten the world around him and yet he is visibly filled with anticipation of fishing.
