About the Item

French Art Deco bronze panther on marble base with jade trim, signed by hand, LEDUC This object is a very rare depiction of a panther playing with a ball. The seated animal is in an attacking position, teeth bared, ears flattened, and paw extended to strike the ball. The situation is skillfully captured, and the overall arrangement of materials and colors is harmonious. The jade edging is interrupted at the front and back by black stripes in marble, and the panther has a very beautiful patina. The jade setting has different tones ranging from light to slightly richer. There are also white inclusions in the stone, but no chipped corners or edges. Arthur Jacques LEDUC (1848-1918) Arthur-Jacques le Duc trained in the studio of animal sculptor Pierre Le Nordez at the École des Beaux-arts in Caen. He moved to Paris in 1872 and regularly exhibited animal motifs in plaster, earthenware, bronze, and ceramics at the Salon between 1890 and 1907, inspired by the works of Antoine-Louis Barye. Le Duc was fascinated by horses and created several equestrian portraits, including the monument to Constable de Richemont in Vannes, which is more closely associated with historicism.
