Spelter Sculpture "the Persian" By Théodore Doriot (1829-1937)

A very fine patinated spelter sculpture of a Persian. This work is signed by Théodore Doriot, a renowned sculptor and student of François Rude. Doriot is particularly known for his official busts of Marianne, but he also produced numerous decorative sculptures in the Orientalist and historical style at the end of the 19th century. Typical of the 19th-century Orientalist movement, this sculpture is striking for the precision of its details and the elegance of its pose. Doriot captures all the nobility of the subject here, with remarkable work on the drapery and ornamentation. The "Persian" subject is typical of this period when Orientalism fascinated the French public. Weight: [Weight not specified]. Good condition.
