Lot 138
Pierre-Jean David d'Angers (French, 1788 - 1856), a bronze portrait medallion of Napoleon Bonaparte, after a model from circa 1838, the relief cast figure portrayed with windswept hair and gazing to sinister and with an ornate collar, inscribed LE GENERAL BONAPARTE and DAVID to the maquette, the roundel 14.5cm diameter; a French gilt bronze portrait roundel of an infant, circa 1890, inscribed MAURICE SALON DE 87 , and Duquesnois 1887 to the maquette ; a bronze portrait relief of a lady, probably French, circa 1900, portrayed in profile and loosely modelled overall, indistinctly inscribed to lower right corner, 16.5x14.5cm; three various French bronze plaquettes, 19th and early 20th century, including a medal by Marie Alexandre Lucien Coudray depicting Orpheus, circa 1900 cast of a model designed in 1893, the largest 5.5x7cm; and a Continental carved softwood Corpus Christi, mounted on fabric backing CATALOGUE NOTES: The portrait roundel may have been part of David d'Anger's campaign to create portrait roundels of important figures, on which he embarked in 1820. The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte bears strong similarities to the iconic 1801 painting by Antoine-Jean Gros, currently at the Hermitage in Moscow. A similar example is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 08.70.1 The medal with Orpheus is said to depict the moment where the mythological character puts Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld, to sleep with the music of his lyre. Coudray was awarded the Prix-de-Rome for this design in 1893, and the medal was offered for sale at the 1900 International Exhibition. A very similar medal is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, A.21-1914
Lot 174
λAfter Roger de Minvielle, (French 1897-1965), a patinated bronze equestrian group entitled Taine, later cast after a model from circa 1932, the rider portrayed in Cadre Noir riding cap and attire, seated atop a naturalistically modelled horse, the textured oval base inscribed Minvielle in the maquette 31cm high, 31cm wide The present lot depicts the renowned thoroughbred horse Taine with its rider, Colonel Xavier Lesage. The pair won the gold medal for individual dressage with a spectacular performance in the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Horse and rider are likely depicted after the Piaffe, a dressage movement consisting of a collected trot, as is evident from the horse's restrained, graceful pose. The pair trained at Saumur in western France, home of the French Military Riding Academy and the elite corps of ecuyers or instructors of the Cadre Noir, to which Lesage belonged. Sculptor Roger de Minvielle, who was himself a keen equestrian and had previously been a member of the Light Cavalry regiment in Orleans, had also joined the Cadre Noir in 1930. The sculptor's familiarity with horses and the world of equestrian sport is evident in his sensitive treatment of the animal's physique This bronze was cast as part of a 1981 limited edition commissioned by Les Amis du Cadre Noir, in the lead up to the 50th anniversary of Taine and Lesage's Olympic victory λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
