French Orientalist Bronze Sculpture of Arab Bedouin Man by Emile Pinedo

About the Item

EMILE PINEDO French, 1840-1916 "Arabe en Marche" Patinated, burnished and polychromed bronze signed "PINEDO" and sealed with editeur cachet for "Bronze Garanti au Titre Paris" Item # 311CSC30P-8 A delightful cabinet bronze of a North African Bedouin man walking over a rough naturalistic base with a walking stick propped over his shoulders. Within the folds of his garment a curved scimitar is tucked away. These French Orientalist studies of the Arab and African nations found a large collecting audience in France and England. There was a fascination with what seemed like a timeless and unchanging traditionalism in these non-Western communities that piqued the nostalgia of collectors. The same sentiment that drove collectors to acquire landscape scenes of rural farms and buccolic views of domestic animals in fields gave a deep well for artists like Marcel Debut to draw upon in preparing studies of the tribal communities of "The Orient". Much of the original material came from travel in Tunisia, which was easily accessible as a French colony and a favorite destination for painters and sculptors. We have many of these wonderful models by Marcel Debut, Jean Didier Debut, Edouard Drouot, Emile Pinedo and Louis Hiolin available. Measurements: 13 1/8" H x 4 1/4" W (base; 9" W at the widest point) x 5 1/4" D Condition Report: Carefully cleaned and sealed in wax; wear to patina throughout with some discoloration: patina on the figure has been lightly burnished and would have had a darker layer originally; light wear to polychromed patina around the edges of the base.
