A French patinated bronze model of the Faun with Clappers, last quarter 19th century, cast after the Antique, the figure portrayed in dance, a cymbal held in each hand, his right foot atop a scabellum, the oval base inscribed Louvre in the maquette 58cm high CATALOGUE NOTES: The marble original of the Faun with Clappers resides in the Uffizi Galleries, Florence, and indeed was first recorded in that city by Albert Rubens (son of the Dutch master) in 1665, he having seen the piece in the collection of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It had been moved to the Tribuna of the Uffizi by 1688. The model was always a popular one, being light hearted and playful, and was therefore much reproduced from the Renaissance onwards. A full-scale bronze version was made by Soldani for Prince Liechtenstein in 1695 and again for the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace, and small versions were produced by Zoffoli and Righetti, -and indeed by many others ever since

Demétre H. Chiparus, (Romanian, 1886 ~ 1947), patinated bronze model of a boy on the beach, the boy portrayed nude and crouching, resting on his elbows, on a textured bronze plinth signed D. H. Chiparus and dated MCMXI, on a moulded rectangular green, likely verde antico marble base with plaque inscribed A NOCINO 14 cm high, 26 cm wide CATALOGUE NOTES: Romanian sculptor Demétre Chiparus spent most of his career in Paris, and is considered one of the most important sculptors of the Art Deco period. Known mostly for his highly stylised chryselephantine models of dancing and reclining maidens, this realistically modelled boy sheds light on the sculptor's earlier work. Dated 1911, the present model likely predates Chiparus' move to Paris and may have been made during his sojourn in Italy, where he studied with sculptor Raffaello Romanelli between 1909-1912. The interest in realism as well as classical poses (the crouching figure can for example be related to the famous Roman 'Dying Gaul'), shows the influence of Italian sculpture on Chiparus' work. Within a few years, this realism would give way to the elegant, elongated lines of Art Deco
