Émile Picault – Fishmonger – Bronze, late 19th century A bronze sculpture with a brown patina depicting a young fishmonger walking barefoot, holding a basket of fish in one hand and an anchor attached to a rope in the other. The work depicts a subject inspired by maritime life and traditional occupations along the French coast, rendered in the naturalistic style characteristic of Émile Picault’s (1833–1915) work. The composition is distinguished by the precise modeling of the drapery, the figure’s dynamic pose, and the attention to detail in the accessories. The pedestal is signed “E. Picault,” and the circular base bears the original metal label titled “Mareyeuse” as well as the inscription “Par Picault .” Émile Picault was a French sculptor renowned for his allegorical, historical, and genre figures, cast in bronze by the leading Parisian foundries of the second half of the 19th century. His works regularly appear on the art market and are featured in numerous public and private collections. Details: Height: 59 cm – Weight: 10.4 kg.
