An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot
By Louis Hottot
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot (French, 1834-1906).
Modelled as a lady in Ottoman dress standing beneath an Eastern style pagoda with minaret. Depicting as if answering a call and stepping forward in greeting.
France, Circa 1890.

That this large statue is cast from superior and costly bronze is indicative of its rarity and importance. The Orientalist subject relates to paintings by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), Ludwig Deutsch (1855–1935) Gustav Bauernfeind...
