Henri Bouchard (1875-1960) Young dressed girl and gazelle Model created in 1912 Green patina bronze Signed "H. Bouchard Bears the founder's stamp "CIRE PERDUE BISCEGLIA". H. 62 x W. 62 x D. 18 cm While we are mainly familiar with his realist work, influenced by Jean-François Millet, Constantin Meunier and Aimé-Jules Dalou, animal subjects also play an important role in Henri Bouchard's work. Alone or accompanied, as here with a young girl in a tunic, the animal theme was addressed by Bouchard mainly between 1909 and 1912. He created his sculptures from memory, having observed and studied animals at the Jardin des Plantes, in the countryside or at agricultural and equestrian competitions. Henri Bouchard used this composition for other groups, such as Fillette et faon (Roubaix, La Piscine, Musée d'art et d'industrie André Diligent, inv. 2014-54-3) and a version of Jeune fille nue et gazelle made in 1909.
