Important bronze with green patina, titled "Le Départ" and signed on the embankment.
Victorien Tournier (1833-1910) French sculptor, specialist in neo-Gothic sculpture, is known for having adorned three emblematic places in Paris: Notre-Dame, L'Hôtel de Ville and the Sacré-Coeur basilica.
"The Departure" represents an ancient fighter, engaging in walking, barefoot, on a vegetal heap.
The man is lightly dressed, his torso muscular, an animal skin covers his crotch and part of his buttocks.
He is about to draw a sword.
Long hair, flowing in the wind.
Determination can be read in his eyes: he goes into battle.
An ode to beauty and male virility, this work will charm its buyer.
