About the Item

Large Antique 19th Century Bronze Native American Warrior Sculpture Henri Plé French, 1885 Height 111 cm, width 54 cm, depth 30 cm This dramatic bronze by Henri-Honoré Plé captures a moment of triumph and intensity, depicting a Native American warrior adorned in elaborate ceremonial dress, his arm lifted high as he brandishes a spear. At his side, a companion kneels with a shield and arrows in hand, their gestures intertwined in a composition that speaks of courage and kinship. Plé, a student of Théodore Gérault and Mathurin Moreau, was celebrated for the theatrical realism and vitality of his sculptures. His works, often heroic or romantic in subject, reveal a fascination with the expressive potential of bronze—its capacity to convey both movement and emotion through the play of light across finely chased surfaces. Exhibiting at the Paris Salon from 1877 to 1898, Plé earned wide recognition, including a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900. The present work exemplifies the artist’s mature style: richly detailed, sculpturally complex, and imbued with the late 19th century’s romantic fascination with the exotic and the heroic. The deep patina enhances its dramatic contrasts, underscoring the figure’s commanding presence and the emotional resonance of the scene. Signed ‘Henri Plé’ to the base, this exceptional sculpture stands as a testament to Plé’s technical mastery and to the enduring appeal of French Romantic bronze sculpture at the fin de siècle. The base features an ornate cartouche inscribed ‘Le Vainqueur – Salon 1885,’ indicating that the sculpture was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1885. It therefore becomes an excellent addition to any growing collection of European and Orientalist art.
