"Seduction by a Satyr", Large, Rare Art Deco Sculpture with Nudes by Camus

About the Item

Large, rare and affecting, this sensual bronze by Jean-Marie Camus depicts a nude satyr figure seducing a nude female figure laying prostrate before him, beguiled by the music from his panpipes. Camus is known for sculpting beguiling female figures, men and women in colonial Africa, and more sensual scenes, such as this. This bronze is the first cast by the sculptor, and has a special status in his oeuvre. The bronze is signed and shows the foundry mark of Bisceglia Malakoff, founded in 1907 by Mario Bisceglia and his two brothers. The foundry was known for its painterly approach to the final patina of each piece, which is readily apparent here.
