About the Item

A magnificent and important sculpture from the Art Deco period, circa 1925: " L'Ambuscade" – signed: Max Le Verrier on the reverse of the stone. This cast art metal object (various high-quality adjustments) with a dark bronze patina stands on an imposing stone base. Displaying the full strength of his young age, this man, almost naked, pulls back on his spear ready to launch with intense effort. His magnificent muscular body and handsome, masculine face with stylised art deco hair detail and art deco loin cloth, express extreme power. The sculptor inherited in 1926 a metal foundry which meant that he could actually make his sculptures which are patinated art metal on carved stone base. This model comes in various sizes, this being the largest.
