About the Item

A beautiful, large bronze sculpture by Alexandre Kelety, boasting a harmonious green patina, depicts an athletic man sowing seeds across the fields. Absorbed by his task, his muscles tense with exertion, the man is in motion. He is dressed only in pants and a cloth tied around his waist to store the seeds. The sculpture rests on a sea-green marble base, where the artist's signature, made with a pointed tip, is discreetly visible. Charismatic and delicately crafted, this Art Deco bronze will easily find its place in your home. Alexandre Kelety (1874-1940) was a Hungarian sculptor born in Budapest. He studied under Imre Karoly Simay (1874-1955), a renowned Hungarian sculptor and painter. Kelety emigrated to France after the First World War. His sculptures were presented at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925. He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1927. ******** Period: 1930 Excellent condition. Shipping available upon request with careful packaging and appropriate protection.
