Bronze Sculpture By Alfred Dubucand (1828 - 1894) “ostrich Hunting In The Sahara”.
Artist: Alfred Dubucand
Bronze with brown patina, old cast iron from the late 19th century. Representing an Arab rider preparing to hit a racing ostrich on a naturalistic molded oval base. Signed on the terrace "DUBUCAND". Alfred DUBUCAND: Sculptor born in Paris on November 25, 1828. Exhibited at the salon from 1867 to 1883. Animals around the theme of hunting captivated him and when he discovered the Orient, he was in turn fascinated by the North African fauna. Which he sometimes depicts with humans. His attention to detail and his ability to capture suspended movement place him in the category of great animal sculptors, such as Barye father and son, Pierre Jules Mène, or Emmanuel Frémier. Bronze visible only by appointment. Delivery or shipping possible, please contact us.
