Edgar Degas (1834-1917, French)Le Tub,Bronze, from Hébrard Foundry. Conceived circa 1886 and cast shortly after 1919.Dimensions: h: 7.75 x w: 17.88 x 16.63 in. / 19.7 x 45.4 x 42.2 cm.*This bronze was examined side-by-side with the "Le Tub" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Walter Maibaum, a leading authority on Degas bronzes, and Mrs. Clare Vincent, curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who has overseen the Degas bronzes in the museum`s collection for over 40 years. The two experts agreed that the bronze appears to be an authentic cast made by the Hébrard Foundry. We are unable to establish which letter this edition is, due to lack of base.Conceived circa 1886 and cast in an edition of twenty-two between 1919-1921, numbered from A-T plus two casts reserved for the Degas heirs and the founder Hébrard, Marked HER and HER.D. Charles Millard called Le Tub, "the most original, not only of his own pieces, but of all 19th Century sculpture" (C.W. Millard, op. cit., page 107). Degas once told a visitor "until now, the nude has always been presented in poses which assume the presence of an audience, but these women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole." (see G. Adriani, Degas Pastels, Oil Sketches, Drawings, London, 1985, p.86). Provenance: Property of a Private Collector.In 2002, The Art Loss Register had completed a database search. The sculpture does not appear in the ALR database as being stolen or missing.Note condition: lacking signature and foundry marks due to fire damage, resulting in the loss to base of sculpture, all four corners of base forcibly removed, upper portion of sculpture intact with minor heat stress tears, see photos, damage to base and patina consistent with fire damage.Starting Price: $5000

Auguste Rodin(1840-1917)Mouvement de Danse F,Bronze,Signed `A. Rodin No. 9 ©` on bottom of left foot. Edition of 12. Cast by the Georges Rudier foundry, 1956. Authenticated by Aline Magnien, Chief curator of the Musée Rodin, and by Jérôme Le Blay of the Comité Rodin.Never exhibited in his lifetime, the plaster versions of Mouvements de danse series remain in the collection of the Musée Rodin, which cast them posthumously in bronze.According to the available information, the first cast of the work was created by the Musée Rodin from the Alexis Rudier foundry in 1952. Twelve examples were then later cast from the Georges Rudier foundry between 1952 and 1956. One may note that the foundry stamps and numbering witnessed on the various studies within the Mouvements de danse are particularly irregular as they pertain to the specific wish of the fondeur. The various studies of Mouvements de danse were not cast in bronze before 1950, it was at this time that the Musée Rodin rediscovered the original clay maquettes in their storage.Provenance: Purchased December 1956 at a gallery in London, England by current owner.Dimensions: h:11 x w: 10.50 x d: 6.50 in.
