The Archer Signed Lucien Alliot

Large sculpture with a very beautiful patina. Born in Paris, his father was himself a sculptor, painter and also a maker of art objects; He entered the Beaux-Arts in Paris and followed the courses of Louis-Ernest Barrias and Jules Coutan. He took over the family business, sales and publishing with a bronze and ceramics workshop. He debuted at the Salon of 1896, and his themes were in perfect harmony with the spirit of the times; classical at the beginning with subjects on motherhood or childhood, then very fashionable, then Art Nouveau with "flower women". In 1907, he received a travel grant which allowed him to visit Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. At the beginning of the 1920s, he immersed himself in the Art Deco style and strongly stylized his sculpture and also produced chryselephantines.
