“Femme Au Levrier” Art Deco Statue Bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France

About the Item

“Femme au Levrier” Art Deco statue bust by Raymond Leon Rivoire Sevres France circa 1937. Rare and important bust from the iconic Art Deco sculpture Raymond Rivoire. the First time I have seen this piece. Manufactured by the famous Sevres company stamped on the back and signed R. Rivoire on the lower part of the bust. This piece is very interesting to me, we have sold the bronze statue a few times, and is one of our favorites. He made a bronze for the Normandie liner representing Neptune pulled by a marine horse (disappeared in the fire of the ship in New York in 1942), a second copy of which still adorns a fountain in Cannes. Another of his major works is Diana and the Greyhound, also known as Artemis. Like Normandy, a monumental copy of this statue was enthroned in the living room of the ocean liner L’Atlantique. Scattered memories of the work were found during the demolition that followed this fire. Drawings can be found in several museums (Louvre Museum, Newark Museum (New Jersey, United States), as well as the Cusset Museum, which houses many of its productions.
