Pair of Patinated Bronze Figures of Native Americans, La Peche/La Chasse, Signed

About the Item

A magnificent and monumental pair of patinated bronze figures depicting native Americans, La Peche and La Chasse. Known as the "Allegory Of Fishing", sculpted and signed by Duchoiselle, these marvelous patinated bronze figures are seen seated on canoes, hunting. On the Chief's canoe are his hunting spoils, which include birds and wild boar. Bronze with a brown and parcel-gilt patina can be found throughout each subject with elaborate chissel work, making these two as life-like and as natural as possible. The two are further adorned with 24k parcel-gilt decoration on their arm and ankle bangles, feathered crowns, jewelry and fish netting. Duchoiselle is an exceptional artist known for supplying ceiling reliefs for the Louvre and Garnier's Paris Opera in 1882. These Native American models can also be found in marble at the Frilli Gallery, in Florence. Native Americans were considered popular subjects to sculpt by both American and European sculptors throughout the 19th century. France, circa 1866.

The bronzes portray a pair of Native Americans, each one standing on a rough-hewn deep red marble base. The first figure portrays a Native American warrior, called a brave. Leaning forward his mouth is open as if he is shouting. A small feather headdress ornaments the figure's head. Vibrant red frills are decorating parts of the trousers and shirt, an animal fur boa, as well as a yellow, blue, and white scarf covering his body. The chieftain who is portrayed in the second figure is wearing traditional Native American clothing...
