AGATHON LÉONARD (1841- 1923) BUST OF A GIRL, CIRCA 1900 carved marble, inscribed A. LÉONARD(46cm high, 46cm wide)Provenance: Design, Bonhams London: Wednesday 15 November 2006, lot 127Footnote: Exhibited: L’Art Nouveau, La Révolution Décorative, Pinacoteque de Paris, 28 April-8 September 2013 Art Nouveau, Il Trionfo della Bellezza, Venaria Réale , Palazzo Venaria, Torino, 17 April 2019 - January 2020. Note: Agathon Léonard is best remembered as the French Art Nouveau sculptor responsible for creating a series of works inspired by the dancer Loïe Fuller. First produced for Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres in 1899 and exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, they were then executed in bronze at the Süsse Frères foundry, as a result of their popularity. This present bust possesses the same grace as the dancers, with the elegant flowing lines and arabesques of the hair and the beautiful serenity of the pose. Between 1896 and 1914 he regularly exhibited at the Salon de la société nationale des beaux-arts. A list of these works including a number of marble busts is provided in Ingelore Böstge’s Agathon Léonard Le Geste Art Nouveau, Paris, 2003, pp 120-122. Two of these are entitled Flore des Champs - one in 1905 model number 1818 and the other in 1907 model number 2001. This seems a plausible title for the present lot as the girl has daisies and poppies in her hair, together with ears of corn. Born in Belgium, Agathon Léonard was naturalised French in 1887 and in 1900 he was awarded the chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur, the highest order of merit in France.

Figure en porcelaine blanche représentant une femme debout, Meissen, circa 1950 A Meissen white figure of a lady (Stehende), circa 1950Modelled by Paul Scheurich, a cloth draped around her shoulders and hip, on a flat rockwork base, 35.7cm high crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, incised model number A.1206, impressed crossed swords mark and 'weiss', impressed 149 and date code for 1950Footnotes:The model for the standing woman was sold by Käthe Scheurich to the Meissen manufactory in December 1927 along with the large bust of Scheurich's sister, Louise (see lot 77), and the large version of the seated hunter (see footnote to lot 66). Due to illness, Scheurich had been unable to work for more than four years, and the price paid by the manufactory (RM 3,000 for the bust and RM 1,500 for the standing woman) are evidence of Max Adolf Pfeiffer's kindness; the profit from the sales of these models did not cover the acquisition costs (Rafael 1995a, no. 33).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Buste de femme en grès Böttger, Meissen, circa 1931-1933 A Meissen Böttger stoneware bust of a woman, circa 1931-1933Modelled by Paul Scheurich on a high rectangular plinth, lightly polished, incised signature to base of neck on her left 'Scheurich', 33.3cm high, crossed swords mark with dot between the tips impressed to base of plinth, similar mark and 'BOTTGER/ STEINZEUG' impressed inside plinth, incised model number A.1233, incised paste number L. 241., impressed former's number 23Footnotes:Literature:Rafael 1995a, ill. 41.2 (left)Exhibited:Meissen, Schauhalle der Staatlichen Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen, Paul Scheurich 1883-1945 Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur, 21 September 1995-10 January 1996;Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, Paul Scheurich. Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021The identity of this portrait bust has not been conclusively established, though it closely resembles a portrait of a lady wearing a négligé titled 'Lilo' that Scheurich painted in 1930 that probably depicts the Berlin actress and diseuse, Liselott (Lilo) Wilke (Rafael 1995a, ill. 41.1).When Scheurich sent the model to Max Adolf Pfeiffer in April 1930 he requested only RM 750; he wrote '...because I know how difficult items of this type are to sell.' The bust was produced in Böttger stoneware from February 1931, though it met with limited success: the first sale is recorded in 1937 and by 1944 ten examples including one white were in the trade.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
