Manner of Frederick William MacMonnies (American, 1863-1937), an Art Nouveau patinated bronze model of a dancing Bacchante, circa 1900, the maiden portrayed nude and holding aloft a staff and bunch of grapes, on a stepped rectangular plinth, 47.5cm highThe present lot is stylistically and thematically similar to MacMonnies' renowned Bacchante and Infant Faun of circa 1893-4, a cast of which is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The exuberant pose and style are typical of the French Beaux-Arts movement that became fashionable in the US and particularly New York towards the end of the 19th century.Condition Report: The bronze bears the usual minor marks, knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age.The patina is a rich dark brown overall, though it is a little scratched in places, particularly to the rear left shoulder. There are possible traces of varnish or polish where the surface is a little more granular, including to the underside of the left arm, where there are also some shallow inconsistencies in the surface (likely due to casting).The object the Bacchante is raising in her right hand may be lacking a piece.There is a dent to the rear left corner of the base, and another, smaller to the front left corner. The underside looks as though it was at one point mounted to a secondary base.The bronze would benefit from a gentle clean to address the dust in the recesses.Condition Report Disclaimer
