Pair Of 19th Century French Bronze Group Figures By Louis Sauvageau (1822-1874)

About the Item

A fine pair of 19th century bronze group figures by Louis Sauvageau (1822-1874). The patinated bronze depicts a classically clad woman, pouring water from a ewer onto a child who stands by her feet, the other bronze depicting a classically clad woman with child before a fire lit brazier, raised on circular Sienna marble bases with brass beading. Pressed signature on plinth 'Sauvageau', Circa 1860 French Louis Sauvageau (1822-1847): Louis Sauvageau first exhibited in the Salon in Paris in 1848, where he showed skill in a variety of different genres – allegorical, religious, and mythological sculptures. He was taught by Justin-Marie Lequien and Armand Toussaint. Sauvageau’s last participation at the Salon was in 1874, but it is uncertain whether that was also the year of his death. Although he worked across different media, his most prolific output seems to have been in bronze sculpture: works by Sauvageau on the art market are almost exclusively bronzes. Particularly the groups of Autumn and Winter, both represented by a mother and child, have appeared at auction several times. Works by the sculptor in marble are, by contrast, exceedingly rare.
