Original Bronze Statue of 3 Men by Pierre Le Faguays
Item #1303 SOLD
Very unique original green patinated bronze statue by French artist Pierre Le Faguays of three men holding up an urn on a black Belgian marble base. This sculpture in theatrical style may have been a maquette for a larger piece, done for an expostion. The detail of three men is quite good and the era of the piece is between 1925-1930.
It is in original finish and shows just a bit of wear, but is in excellent condition overall.
Le Faguays was born in Nantes, France and became famous for the graceful representations of dancers. He was awarded a medal of honor for his work in 1927. His best friend, famed sculptor Max Le Verrier cast most (if not all ) of Le Faguays pieces in the LeVerrier foundry.
Le Faguays also worked under two other pseudonyms “Guerbe” and “Fayral” in the creation of his sculptural pieces.
