Silver Bronze And Gilt Bronze Jewelry Box Prosper Lecourtier

About the Item

Prosper Lecourtier, chiseled and gilded bronze jewelry box representing a small chiseled and silvered bronze dog on a cushion garnished with trimmings on a red marble base. Interior padded in blue satin. Signed P Lecourtier. In perfect condition. Bibliography: Prosper Lecourtier was the student of Emmanuel Frémiet (1824-1910) and he exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1875 until his death in 1925. Frémiet seems to have bequeathed his passion for the animal world to his student. The latter excelled in the production of naturalist-style animals2. Lecourtier, for his part, expresses his talent through sculptures of more modest dimensions. We find in his sculptures of hunting scenes the influence of his master, however Lecourtier detaches himself from his model by the integration of movement as shown in his sculptures of hunting dogs or deer and does. He has a real sense of naturalism in the anatomical modeling and expressions of the animals represented. He won several medals at the Salon and during universal exhibitions.
