Lost wax bronze. Model by Auguste Moureau. Marble base Patinated bronze with two children together, the boy holding some flowers. The piece that makes up this lot follows models of Auguste Moureau (1834-1917), a famous French sculptor who was known especially for his delicate and naturalistic works, located within the Art Nouveau movement, a style of which he was an important representative.

Bronze figure placed on a circular base that shows a child dressed in a humble manner, holding a teapot and raising his hand towards his mouth in a gesture of shouting or proclaiming his “merchandise” or services. The piece is reminiscent of European works (France, Vienna...) from towards the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century both in the material chosen and in the theme of the sculpture, its size, its composition, its detail, etc. The inscription on the base (P. Dubois) refers to the sculptor Paul Dubois (France, 1829-1905), whose works would inspire the present sculpture (especially one in particular, very similar to this one).

Oval table mirror frame in bronze. The space for the mirror has been highlighted with a string of pearls. The frame presents a profile of great movement due to the curves, countercurves and volutes that it presents. The decoration has been made based on plant elements, cloths, flower garlands, scrolls and masks, part engraved and part in relief. The work is clearly inspired by Renaissance motifs, while the prominent movement of its profiles responds more to the Rococo of the 18th century. Weight: 2kg

Bronze table mirror frame. Inspired by Art Nouveau models (ca. 1900). Although the interior shape, very similar to a heraldic shield, links with academic prototypes, the prominence of the stems that form the exterior profile of the frame, the curved lines that they draw, the flowers and the interlacing finish (which is distantly reminiscent of what Celtic) speak of influences from models derived from Art Nouveau, a characteristic style from around 1900 and also known as “Modern Style”.

Bronze sculpture “Lady leaning on a column”.
On a prominent circular pedestal with a marble base stands the figure of the young woman, dressed in the classicist manner. He lightly rests one hand on an Ionic column, up which a flowering plant climbs. It is reminiscent of models used by Henri-Louis LeVasseur (1853-1934), specifically, the work titled “Le Poesie”, which was used as inspiration very often even after the sculptor's death."

Green patinated bronze base. Stipe with herms. On a square base stands the foot of the stipe, decorated with vegetal and architectural motifs and lion's paws on which rises a scroll that ends in a bust of a young man. This same anthropomorphic element is repeated on the other side, and, between them, diamond blades and points complete the surfaces. The inverted truncated-pyramidal pilaster was widely used in the Spanish Baroque, with busts (called hermas) being added even then. In the present work, the classicist influence is undeniable.

mythological figure. Bronze. A circular base slightly elevates the bronze figure. The man, already of a certain age (as can be deduced from his thick beard), is standing, dressed with a cloth around his waist, wearing sandals and wearing a crown of leaves (perhaps also with bunches of grapes). ), and holds a torch in his right hand while with his left he lifts or fights against a large snake that seems to emerge from his shoulder. Although it is logical to think that it is Laocoön fighting the serpent, there are other mythological figures that have been represented facing monsters (often in the same form), such as Cadmus; The Tisiphone Fury is represented holding a torch and one or more snakes in her hands.
