1626 - Large and decorative bronze sculpture by an orientalist Berber. 19th century.

Large and decorative bronze sculpture by an orientalist Berber. 19th century. Patinated bronze using lost-wax casting. Measurements: 66 cm x 25 cm x 23 cm. This round sculpture represents a standing male figure, dressed in a tunic, turban, and sash, in a dynamic pose. The bearded face, the articulated body posture, and the lateral gaze convey expression and movement. The figure rests on a base decorated with openwork geometric motifs, evoking an architectural column. This piece is part of the 19th-century Orientalist movement, which idealized the Arab world through exoticism and detailed clothing. The bronze's matte finish and gestures emphasize its sculptural quality. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist.
