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.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens
1848-1907 American
Young Emperor Augustus
Marble
This extraordinary marble bust by revered American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens is crafted in the classical style of the Greco-Roman world, with the perfect proportions that make it engaging from every angle. The style lends itself well to the subject — Caesar Augustus, one of the most revered emperors of ancient Rome. Here, he is brilliantly captured as a young man with his distinctive brown and calm countenance in a celebration of male beauty, wisdom and bravery.
Celebrated as the founder of the Roman Empire, Caesar Augustus left a formidable legacy as a politician, a peacemaker and a conquerer. Rising to power following the infamous assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, Augustus reigned for over a decade. Designed after the head of an ancient statue known as Augustus of Primaporta in the Vatican Museum, Saint-Gaudens’ bust offers a compelling portrait of this historic great, capturing the young man who would later be recognized as among the world's great thinkers and leaders.
Born in Dublin to an Irish mother and French father, Augustus Saint-Gaudens moved to New York City with his family as an infant. He trained under Louis Avet, a cameo-cutter, before enrolling in the École des Beaux-Arts at the young age of 19. Saint-Gaudens’ artistic talents flourished when he moved to Rome in 1870 to study art and architecture, and his neoclassical works inspired by the masterpieces of Greco-Roman antiquity are among his most beloved sculptures. He achieved great critical success in his lifetime, and his artworks reside in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in London, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and Tate in London.
Young Emperor Augustus is pictured on page 63 of John H. Dryfhout’s catalogue raisonne entitled The Work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1982). The bust was on loan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for nearly four decades.
