- French Antique Bronze Sculpture of "Harvester" by Mathurin MoreauBy Mathurin MoreauLocated in Shippensburg, PA"HARVESTER" AFTER A MODEL BY MATHURIN MOREAU (FRENCH, 1822-1912) In a reddish-brown and golden patinated bronze; signed in base "Math. Moreau" Item # 012SKP14W A fine model of a rural young farmer resting against a rocky outcrop to sharpen his scythe, the base of which has been set in the hay collected in a pile beside the rock; the naturalistic base is signed along the back in his typical nearly cursive script "Math. Moreau". It is a complex model and a fine accomplishment for the foundry, the joints seamlessly flowing into one another without any obvious connections.

Lenordez" cast circa 1860 Item # 306GRT17P A rare example of Pierre Lenordez's early work, this fine sand-cast bronze model of a halting stallion showcases the powerful animal as he is stopping his forward motion, rearing slightly as he shifts his weight to his back legs.
