Bronze sculpture depicting an American Indian lying in bronze with brown and green patina after Edouard Drouot. It represents a Native American with long hair dressed in a hairy loincloth and a feathered headdress lying on the ground. His distant gaze seems focused as he closes his hand over his bow. The terrace is treated like earth covered with vegetation and is signed E.DROUOT. The whole rests on a rectangular base in green marble. This representation is a cast from a plaster model presented in 1913 at the Salon.
Edouard DROUOT (1859-1945) is a French sculptor, student of Emile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1889, he presented at the Salon sculptures characterized by their movement and the expressiveness of the scenes. He particularly appreciates exotic figures of Native Americans and Asians.
Dimensions of the base: 49 cm x 16.5 cm
