Albéric Collin, Young African Baby Elephant Running, Ca. 1920. Bronze Animalier
A rare bronze of an excited ‘Young African baby Elephant’ by the Belgian sculptor Albéric Collin (1886-1962).
This bronze was cast by the lost wax process at the Claude Valsuani Foundry in Paris. It’s a high quality, detailed cast with a nuanced dark brown patina. It bears Collins signature and his fingerprint alongside.
The work is characteristic of his earlier style, which is modernist yet figurative, as opposed to the more abstract formal language of his later periods. From the 1920s onwards, Collin exhibited his Young African baby Elephant on several shows.
Ca. 1920.
Signed ‘Albéric Collin’ with his fingerprint. Cast by Valsuani, bears the founder’s stamp “CIRE PERDUE C. VALSUANI”.
