French Antique Bronze Sculpture of Jockey on Race Horse by H.R. de Vains
About the Item
H.R. DE VAINS
French, 1848 - 1886
Jockey on a Race Horse
Patinated bronze signed in base "HR de VAINS" original foundry label to the underside for Auguste Gouge
Item # 306CPA15Q
A very good cast of a race horse and jockey in full gallop while riding along the course fencing, this is one of the few models produced by the sculptor H.R. de Vains and is rare in its retention of the original foundry label on the underside noting its birth in the foundry of Auguste Gouge. The piece exhibits beautiful surface texture and a fine grade of chiseling throughout that is brought to life with the overall medium-brown surface patina. The ground truly looks like a heavily trod race track with deep hoof marks pressed into the soft soil. A delightful model that has great presence at nearly 20" in overall length.
Measurements: 19 7/8" W x 13 1/4" H x 5 3/8" D
Condition Report:
Very fine original condition. Light rubbing to raised elements from handling; some rubbing along the neck of the horse where the reigns have likely shifted over time. Slight wiggle between the post and the horse - it acts as a pivot point and remains relatively snug - naturally a subject like this should only be picked up by the base, as the only point of contact for the horse and rider with the base is at the fence post. Cleaned, sealed in conservator's grade wax, polished and a very fine presentation.

French Antique Bronze Sculpture “Halting Stallion” Horse by Pierre Lenordez
Located in Shippensburg, PA
PIERRE LENORDEZ
French, 1815-1892
A Halting Stallion
Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez" cast circa 1860
Item # 306GRT17P
A rare example of Pierre Lenordez's early work, this fine sand-cast bronze model of a halting stallion showcases the powerful animal as he is stopping his forward motion, rearing slightly as he shifts his weight to his back legs. The model is beautifully chased and a wonderful hammered texture to the hair and texture from the original wax mold replicated in the bronze under the translucent brown surface patina. The model is signed on the back corner of the naturalistic base in his typical script, "P. Lenordez".
Born in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, in the district of Manche in northwestern France, Pierre Lenordez eventually established himself in Caen where he would become a professor and teach at the Fine Arts Academy of Caen for a decade, accepting under his tutelage the Romantic sculptor of renown Arthur Jacques Leduc...

French Antique Bronze Sculpture of "Harvester" by Mathurin Moreau
By Mathurin Moreau
Located in Shippensburg, PA
"HARVESTER" AFTER A MODEL BY MATHURIN MOREAU (FRENCH, 1822-1912)
In a reddish-brown and golden patinated bronze; signed in base "Math. Moreau"
Item # 012SKP14W
A fine model of a rural young farmer resting against a rocky outcrop to sharpen his scythe, the base of which has been set in the hay collected in a pile beside the rock; the naturalistic base is signed along the back in his typical nearly cursive script "Math. Moreau".
It is a complex model and a fine accomplishment for the foundry, the joints seamlessly flowing into one another without any obvious connections. The surface is chiseled with great care, resulting in fine detailing of the toes and fingers to include the wrinkles at each joint and texturing of the nails, crisp eyelids and flawless skin, gorgeous texturing of the garment...
