CHARLES HENRI JOSEPH CORDIER (1827-1905) JUIVE D’ALGER JEWISH WOMAN FROM ALGIERS Épreuve en bronze argenté, doré et émaillé, inscrite sur le foulard et datée 1869. Fixée sur une base en marbre. HAUT. 49 cm (H. 19 5/16 IN.) Provenance : Collection particulière, France. Cordier est l’enfant turbulent d’une famille de Cambrai. Après des études difficiles, il part étudier dans l’atelier du sculpteur Louis Bougron à Lille. Il part pour Paris en 1844, et entre en 1846 dans l’atelier de François Rude. C’est là qu’il rencontre Seïd Enkess, esclave noir affranchi qui deviendra son modèle, et dont il expose le buste au Salon. C’est le début de son œuvre ethnographique. En 1854, il fait un premier voyage en Algérie dont il rapportera "une belle collection de bustes". Il devient un sculpteur reconnu, reçoit des commandes officielles, et expose à Paris, en province et à l’étranger. Il est le grand-père de Suzanne Drouet-Réveillaud. Notre sculpture "La juive d’Alger" est l’une des versions de ce célèbre modèle. Cordier illustre son art de sculpture polychrome, alliant or, argent et émail, et contrastant ainsi avec les sculptures monochromes du Salon. Cordier was the boisterous child of a family of Cambrai. After mediocre studies, he studied in the studio of sculptor Louis Bougron in Lille. He went to Paris in 1844, and joined the studio of François Rude in 1846. This is where he met a black freed slave, Seid Enkess, who became his model. He exhibited Seid Enkess’s bust at the Salon. This is how he started his ethnographic work. In 1854, he made his first trip to Algeria and brought back "a fine collection of busts". He became a famous sculptor, received official orders, and exhibited in Paris, in the provinces, and abroad. He was the grandfather of Suzanne Drouet-Réveillaud. Our sculpture, "The Jewish woman from Algiers”, is a version of this well-known cast. Charles Cordier shows his art through this polychrome sculpture, combining gold, silver and enamel, which contrasts with the monochrome sculptures of the Salon.
