Woman with Chalice and Eagle
Edouard Drouot, French (1859-1945)
19th Century
Marble
36 inches high
Here Drouot portrays a classically draped woman. The subject's left hand rests on a large eagle's wing, and her right hand holds aloft a chalice. Her long wavy hair flows sinuously past her waist. Her eyes are slightly closed. The eagle appears alert; its feathers are beautifully expressed, as are its talons.
Born in Sommervoire, France on April 3, 1859, Drouot studied in Paris under Emile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau, working as both a genre painter and sculptor. He began exhibiting at the Salon in 1889, and was awarded a medal at the Salon of 1892. Drouot won an honorable mention at the Universal Exposition of 1900. A variety of themes and a remarkable sense of movement characterize his body of work. Considered an outstanding member of the sculpture community at the end of the 19th century, Drouot's Salon entries encompassed sporting and hunting scenes, exotic Eastern subjects, mythological figures, whimsical allegories, and nymphs.

Mirabeau
François Joseph A. Truphème, French (1820-1888)
1857
Bronze with rich brown patination
34 inches high
Signed and dated on column, left side, bottom
This dynamic 19th-century bronze portrait sculpture depicts the French statesman Honor Gabriel Riqueti Mirabeau (1749-1791), whose eloquence as an orator and great logical acuteness made him one of the finest political figures of the French Revolutionary period. This likeness of Mirabeau captures the politician's passionate manner of public speaking, for which he was famous. Mirabeau's personal life was as fiery as his political one, and his infamous letters to Sophie, as well as various romantic intrigues, often landed him in prison.
François Joseph Truphème was born in Aix and died in Paris. He was a pupil of Bonnassieux at the Écôle des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1850 on. Much in demand for his exceptional work as a portraitist and architectural sculptor, Truphème was awarded commissions throughout France. He produced sculptural decoration for the Louvre and the Palace of Justice in Paris, the Écôle de Dessin Marseille, and the churches of Ste-Clothilde and Trinité in Paris, among many others.

The Venus de Medici, one of the best known and loved forms in the history of art, represents Venus, or in Greek terminology, Aphrodite, in a pose portraying her modesty as she emerges from the sea, the place of her birth, as symbolized by the dolphins at her feet. The original work, thought to be Aphrodite of Knidos (though not identical to the Venus de Medici) no longer exists, but was most likely created by the exceedingly famous Greek sculptor Praxieles in the 4th century, B. C. It is recorded as having been the first large scale female nude in classical sculpture. Thereafter the Venus was copied innumerable times and in many mediums, from paintings to bronzes to porcelains. The Venus de Medici has been considered the ideal female form and is thus meant to be viewed from all angles, as it is as beautiful from the back as it is from the front.

Sculpture
After The Aphrodite of Milos (Better known as The Venus de Milo ) Over Life Sized Carrara Marble Sculpture
19th century Italian School
Marble
82 inches in height
This is a monumental white marble sculpture based on one of the most famous works of the ancient Greeks. It is believed to depict Aphrodite (called Venus by the Romans), the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820 inside a buried niche within the ancient city ruins of Milos on the Aegean island of the same name, also called Melos or Milo, by a peasant named Yorgos Kentrotas. It was found in two main pieces (the upper torso and the lower draped legs) along with several herms, fragments of the upper left arm and the left hand holding an apple, and an inscribed plinth.

A Dionysus Figure with Child Satyr
Marble
Approx. 82 inches in height, 27 inches in width, 23 inches in depth
This monumental nude male figure of Dionysus is magnificently carved with bunches of grapes and grape leaves crowning his head and a figure of a child satyr at his side. In one hand he holds aloft a kylix, undoubtedly filled with wine, and in the other, a draping animal skin. The child satyr beside him is holding two bunches of grapes.
Dionysus is also known as Bacchus, and the frenzy he produces is known as bakcheia. Bacchus is known as the Liberator, freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine. His divine mission was to mingle the music of the flute and to bring an end to worry and care. Child satyrs are mythological creatures related to the satyr; they are commonly paired, like this example, with a Bacchananalian/Dionysian figure.

Circa First Quarter of the 19th Century
Bronze with brownish gold patina
41 inches in height
This large bronze sculpture portrays the mythological abduction of Orithyia, the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens, by Boreas, the North wind. According to Greek mythology, Boreas brought Orithyia to Thrace, where the two reigned as King and Queen of the Winds. Three figures are represented here in a complex and compact spiral; note the puffed out cheeks of Boreas, which refer to his identity as the North Wind.
The Getty Museum's collection contains the bronze Gaspard Marsy sculpture.

Bacchante and Infant Faun
Frederick William MacMonnies, American (1863-1937)
American, circa 1893-1894
Bronze with brown patina
Incised: Signature of artist
34 inches in height
An exuberant nude young woman, her right toes on the ground, her right arm holding a bunch of grapes high over her head, her left knee pushing upward in a dancing motion, her left hand securing a nude infant in the crook of her elbow.
MacMonnies gifted his first (and larger) cast of this statue to American architect Charles Follen McKin in appreciation for a $50.00 loan that enabled MacMonnies to travel abroad in 1884. McKim was unsuccessful in placing the piece in the courtyard of the Boston Public Library due to a storm of public protest created by temperance unions, clergy, and other angry Bostonians due to the statute's "drunken indecency." McKim then offered Bacchante to the Metropolitan Museum in May, 1897, and its board of trustees eagerly accepted it.

Working Model for the Head of George Washington for the Princeton Battle Monument
Frederick William MacMonnies, American (1863-1937)
1908-1922
Plaster
18 x 19 inches (45.7 x 48.3 cm)
A large plaster maquette for the Princeton Battle Monument, commemorating January 3, 1777, the day General George Washington led American soldiers to victory over British troops at the decisive Revolutionary War Battle of Princeton, the general and future president depicted in a tri-corner hat. The Princeton Battle Monument features George Washington in heroic high relief on a robust and impressive architectural mass; President Warren G. Harding was present for its 1922 dedication.
MacMonnies, during the execution of this bust and the final monument, had before him the famous George Washington bust by Houdon and the charming portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart. After completion of the sculpture, MacMonnies' plaster preliminaries were most likely sawn into pieces and returned to his studio in Greenwich Village, New York City. When MacMonnies died of pneumonia in 1937, his second wife sealed off his studio. She became increasingly reclusive and eccentric and in the 1950s she was placed into custodial care, at which point, MacMonnies' studio was opened and its contents were dispersed. According to Dr. E. Adina Gordon, newspaper accounts of the day report various sculptural elements left on the sidewalk and removed by family and passersby. It is assumed that this plaster head of Washington was among these works so dispersed.
MacMonnies was born in Brooklyn, New York; his mother was a niece of Benjamin West, known as the founding father of American painting. When MacMonnies was sixteen he was received as an apprentice in the studio of sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens. In 1884 he went to Paris, briefly to Munich, and then became the most prominent pupil of Falguiere. In 1893, he was chosen to design and build the sixty-foot, electrified The Barge of State fountain containing thirty-eight figures for the Court of Honor at the World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago (Chicago World's Fair), which placed him instantly in the top tier. His largest work is a decoration for the Memorial Arch to Soldiers and Sailors in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, consisting of three enormous groups in bronze. Also in the same park appears MacMonnies' large Horse Tamer. Other notable sculptures include Nathan Hale in the City Hall Park, New York, Winged Victory at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, and Bacchante at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Included with the plaster is an out-of-print publication from The Art Museum of Princeton University, "Record," entitled "Frederick MacMonnies and the Princeton Battle Monument."

A Stately Mustached Gentleman
Elie Nadelman, Polish (1882-1946)
Bronze
Marks: Incised with E. Nadleman on back
27 inches high, 12.75 inches wide, 9.75 inches deep
Portrait bust of a mustached and goateed gentleman, wearing a suit and bow tie. The consignor has evidence that this is a portrait bust of Charles Lee Patton, first president of Patton McGuyer Co., 1928-1930.
Ex. Coll.: C. L. Patton, Patton MacGuyer Co.
Elie Nadelman briefly attended Warsaw Art Academy and in 1903-1904, he took a studio in Paris and made frequent visits to the Louvre. He was particularly interested in the sculpture of Michelangelo and the works by Auguste Rodin and George Seurat. In 1905-07, Nadelman exhibited in Salon d'Automne, and in 1908-09, Leon Stein took Picasso to Nadelman's studio, where Nadleman's Head of a Man, 1907, was on view. It is conjectured that Picasso's Head of 1908 was influenced by that visit. In 1910-11, Nadleman had an extremely successful show at Paterson's Gallery, London, where Helena Rubinstein bought his entire exhibition. In 1914, after he was unable to join the Russian Army as a reservist, with the aid of Helena Rubinstein he obtained passage to the U.S. and took up residence in New York City. Nadelman's first exhibit in New York took place in 1915-18 at Alfred Stieglitz's Photo-Secession Gallery. In 1919-20, he had a solo exhibition at M. Knoedler & Co. in New York; during that period he also married Mrs. Joseph A. Flannery, a well-to-do New York widow. The Nadlemans began collecting folk art and purchased an estate named Alderbrook in Riverdale, New York. A museum is built on the Riverdale estate to house the Nadelmans' folk art collection. His work for the next two decades received enormous public acclaim. His last one-man exhibition took place in 1930 at Galerie Bernheim-June, Paris. He sold his folk art collection, along with its building, in 1935-37, and he died on December 28, 1946.

The two door commode à vantaux of bombé form, the front and sides with panels of scrolling floral marquetry framed by foliate c-scroll gilt bronze mounts on reserved ground, cabriole legs with gilt bronze foliate scroll chutes and sabots, with Greek key collar; Breche d'Alep marble top.
Bernard II van Risenburgh (BVRB), of Netherlandish origin, specialized in furniture decorated with panels of Japanese lacquer and veneered with floral marquetry in kingwood and tulipwood, as seen on this piece. Working almost exclusively with the important marchands-merciers Lazare Duvaux and Thomas-Joachim Hebert, BVRB himself remained somewhat of an enigma, having minimal contact with his aristocratic and royal clientele.
This commode à vantaux bears the stamped mark of A. Leclaire who might be identified with Jean-Eugene Leclaire, a marchand-ébéniste established at 33 rue Saint Nicholas in Paris from 1856.

Madonna of the Magnificat (Madonna del Magnificat)
After Sandro Botticelli, Italian (1445-1510)
Oil on canvas, gilt wood frame
50.25 inches in diameter
A beautifully rendered Madonna of the Magnificat with nearly life-sized figures, including The Virgin being crowned by two angels. The crown is a delicate piece of goldsmith's work comprised of innumerable stars, an allusion to the "Stella matutina," (morning star), one of the Mother of God's names in hymns devoted to Mary.
This was, in all likelihood, Botticelli's most famous painting of the Virgin.
The heavily carved gilt frame enhances this work.

Oscar Bach was one of the most technically skilled and commercially successful figures in the field of decorative metalwork during the first half of the 20th century. His design and production ranted from small, utilitarian designs for the home (i.e., ashtrays), to grand-scale architectural elements. Many of Manhattan's landmarks contain elements of Oscar Bach's work, notably among them, the lobby of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Rockefeller Center, and the New York City Department of Health. Other architectural pieces by Bach adorn prominent buildings through out the United States, including those at Yale University, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department, Washington, D.
