Over Life-Size Bronze Sculpture of an Orientalist Female Figure
About the Item
Standing over two and a half metres tall, this sculpture is truly exceptional—an unusual, and remarkable, statement piece. The sculpture features a standing female figure, her dress distinctly Orientalist in nature. She is cast from bronze, with light, conforming clothing draped over her body. Moreover, the bronze has been skilfully patinated, increasing the sense of texture and tonal variety. She holds in her left hand, which lies by her side, a gilt bronze mirror; her right hand, lifted high over her head, grasps a large six-light candelabrum, also formed of gilt bronze.
The figure is elevated on a gilt bronze three-leg podium, its warm colour further accenting the gilt bronze mirror and candelabrum, as well as the parcel gilt features of the figure, such as her necklace and headdress—the latter of which is draped with malachite beads.
This remarkable sculpture epitomises the best of the Belle Époque—few pieces of such scale and grandeur are available today.

- Bronze figural torchere titled: "Music" by Jules Felix CoutanLocated in Los Angeles, CAThis very fine life-size patinated bronze figural torchere modeled as a classically clad female musician holding a mandolin and a torch. This symbolic representation of Music, falls within Coutan’s allegorical work. The sculpture stands on a period carved wood pedestal. Inscribed on base: Coutan, Thiébaut Frères, Fondeurs. Total Height: 101″ (259 cm) Bronze height: 67″ (170.1 cm) Pedestal Height: 34" (86.3 cm) Jules-Félix Coutan (22 September 1848 – 23 February 1939) is considered to be one of the most gifted French sculptors and designers of the 19th and early 20th centuries Coutan studied under the renowned Pierre-Jules Cavelier at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1872; after his return to Paris he executed the fountain group France Bearing the Torch of Civilization for the Exposition Universelle (1889), one of the two prominent sculptural commissions for the Exposition grounds.[1] Later he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1900, where he expressed his disdain for the researches of Rodin— fumiste—[2] and the Impressionist sculptors who followed him. Coutan was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1905.[3] Coutan is best known in the United States for the sculptural group above the entrance to Grand Central Terminal in New York City. For Grand Central Terminal, Coutan was contracted to provide a quarter-size scale plaster model of the three-figure allegorical Transportation group, which he developed from 1911 through 1914. The carving was performed by the William Bradley & Son of Long Island City.[4] Among Coutan's students were Hippolyte Lefèbvre, Raymond Delamarre...Category
