Large late 19th-century bronze sculpture with a brown patina - Lot 231
Large late 19th-century bronze sculpture with a brown patina depicting a young hunter with a lion cub, signed E. Drouot A significant bronze sculpture with a brown patina depicting a young nude hunter standing on a naturalistic base. He holds a spear in one hand and lifts a lion cub with the other, while a second animal appears at his feet. The subject evokes a hunting scene or an episode inspired by antiquity, rendered with the naturalism characteristic of late 19th-century French sculpture. The precise modeling of the anatomy, the expressive rendering of the animals, and the quality of the patina attest to the care taken in its execution. The work bears the signature “E. Drouot” on the base, referring to the French sculptor Édouard Drouot (1859–1945), known for his Orientalist, allegorical, and hunting compositions. With its imposing size and decorative presence, this sculpture is a representative example of his work. Details: Height: 82 cm – Weight: 21 kg.
