19th Large Gilt Bronze Sculpture In The Style Of Carpeaux
Large gilded bronze sculpture depicting a young fisherwoman from the second half of the 19th century.
The sculpture bears no signature, nor are there any known copies to compare it with, but it is certainly of excellent quality: the young woman stands, holding a fishing net in one hand while raising the other above her head to display some fish triumphantly. The almost dance-like movement, as well as the subject matter, seem to draw inspiration from the works of Duret and Carpeaux depicting “Neapolitans.” The casting is of the highest quality, with the arms cast separately and then assembled to ensure greater precision in the details—a method reserved for high-quality sculptures. The gilding, which was very costly, was also reserved for high-quality sculptures.
Excellent condition, original gilding.
