Ernest Rancolet (1870-1915) - "Young Couple on Rocks" Petite Bronze Sculpture

About the Item

Ernest Rancolet (1870-1915) – "Young Couple on Rocks" – Cast in Bronze, Hollow Interior, Sculpture This exquisite sculpture by the renowned French artist Ernest Rancolet, titled "Young Couple on Rocks", is cast in bronze with a delicate patina, created using the hollow casting technique. This method involves creating a sculpture with a hollow interior, making the piece lighter in weight while preserving its structural integrity. The hollow interior also allows for the fine detailing of the figures, highlighting Rancolet’s skill in capturing the intimate, emotional connection between the two figures. Standing at 59.5 cm in height, this sculpture demonstrates Rancolet's technical mastery, combining graceful form with expressive movement. The young couple, resting tranquilly on the rocks, conveys a serene and timeless elegance. The use of the hollow casting technique not only enhances the piece’s balance but also contributes to the intricate detailing that defines its charm. Though unsigned, this sculpture is still a remarkable example of early 20th-century French art, showcasing the artist’s distinctive style and expertise in bronze casting. This piece is an exceptional addition to any distinguished collection, ideal for collectors who value unique, high-quality sculptures that blend traditional artistry with modern casting techniques.
