Raoul Larche (1860-1912) - The Fisherman
Superb bronze sculpture entitled "Le Pêcheur" (The Fisherman) by the renowned artist Raoul Larche, circa 1900. This exceptional work is signed "Raoul Larche" and bears the stamp of the prestigious foundry Susse Frères Paris, as well as the words "bronze" and "cire perdue".
Measuring 51.5 cm high (excluding the base), the piece has a magnificent, nuanced green patina, revealing the finesse and realism of the subject. The scene depicts a fisherman catching a large fish by hand, immortalizing the movement and the moment with great expressivity. The bronze rests on a veined, molded marble base, giving the piece a timeless elegance.
This rare work testifies to the talent of Raoul Larche, an artist representative of the transition between naturalism and Art Nouveau, and would fit perfectly into a collection of late 19th or early 20th century art. A refined testimony to the art of sculpture of this period.
