About the Item

1890s Belle Époque bronze sculpture of a young fisherman 'Pêcheur' by the sculptor Adolphe-Jean Lavergne, France By: Adolphe-Jean Lavergne Material: bronze, copper, metal Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, patinated, polished Dimensions: 3 in x 4 in x 13.5 in Date: late 19th century, circa 1890 Style: Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, Realism Place of origin: France In late 19th century France, Realism flourished as artists sought to capture everyday life with meticulous detail. This bronze sculpture, "Pêcheur" by Adolphe-Jean Lavergne, embodies that spirit, depicting a young fisherman with remarkable verisimilitude. The boy stands barefoot, wearing a hat and loose-fitting clothes typical of the period. His posture is dynamic, with hands raised, holding his fishing rod that extends beyond the sculpture's height, adding vertical interest to the composition. Lavergne's mastery is evident in the fine details: the creases in the clothing, the textured hair, and the expressive face. The patina gives the bronze a warm, coppery tone, enhancing its lifelike quality. The square base bears a plaque with the title "Pêcheur" and Lavergne's signature, authenticating the piece.
