"Rosita" Midcentury Bronze Sculpture of Donkey Foal by Carl Lewis Pappe

"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...

PIERRE LENORDEZ French, 1815-1892 "Hanriette Dimsdal A Race Horse" (1858) Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez 1858" foundry inscription for Duplan et Salles Item # 306FTV06Q This large and exquisite casting of Pierre Lenordez's "Hanriette Dimsdal" of 1858, it features a delightfully textured body with chaotic scoring from his minute stylus work across the hair of the body throughout. The mane and tail feature the crisp textured chiseling typical of his early work. This has been captured with utmost integrity by the renowned house of Duplan et Salles, the quality of the sand-casting simply above reproach with crisp replication of the artist's intent evident in every element. A most sensitive handling of this beautiful stallion. Note the particularly wonderful handling of the ground of the base, a rather rare example of capturing the horse in its stall instead of over a naturalistic field. The hay is brushed away in numerous areas to reveal the brick flooring...
