Jean de Roncourt (c.1925) ‘The Hunter’ Bronze Figure

About the Item

An eye-catching and large scale early 20th century bronze figure depicting a hunter attributed to French sculptor, Jean de Roncourt (1869-1937). Though unsigned, this sculpture is undoubtedly by Roncourt, the design and figure evocative of his other works. Alternatively titled ‘Le Chasseur’ (translating to 'The Hunter'). Active throughout the 1920s and 30s, Jean de Roncourt was a French impressionist and modern sculptor. His works often featured athletic, masculine figures such as this one. Alternatively titled ‘The Javelin Thrower’, the bronze figure takes a stable, kneeling position with left foot extended forward. His right arm is angled back and holds in the fist a spear as if ready to launch forwards, throwing it into a target or prey ahead. The spear is original and detaches, allowing for positioning as you see fit. The bronze is mounted on a black marble plinth which in itself is 74 cm (29.13 in) wide, showcasing the sheer scale of the piece. It is a dramatic statement for an interior or collector, looking striking placed atop a console or sideboard in a contemporary or traditional setting. Additional Information Plinth base: 74 x 16 cm (29.13 x 6.29 in) Dimensions exclude the spear. Spear is 50 cm long.
