Art Deco Bronze Sculpture by Bouraine of Amazon Queen Penthesilea. This iconic sculpture by Marcel Andre Bouraine of “Penthesilea, queen of the amazons”, is cast bronze in the rarest original antique silver color patina. Depicted is a nude woman archer in Art Deco style and signed Bouraine on the front with seal of the  Susse Freres Paris on the foundry stamp. An authentic, original vintage piece circa 1930 and like so many of the great Art Deco sculptures, this example portrays the female figure with mythological point of view much like a Diana or Artemis from Greek or Roman mythology.

 

We sold a very nice  terracotta version of this sculpture.

 

Bouraine’s  work is highly desirable for Art Deco enthusiasts and values continue to rise. A version of this piece sold at Christies in 2008 for $15,000.
