Léon Tharel (1858-1902), Bronze Sculpture "Idle Fiddler"
Est: €1,600 - €2,000
Brown-patinated bronze France, around 1880 Léon Tharel (1858-1902) - French sculptor Signed on the base, "THAREL sculpt." Foundry mark "Susse Freres" Fine patina Height: 26 cm Provenance: from an important German private collection The auction record for this bronze stands at 18,000 Euros. This charming bronze sculpture by the French artist Léon Tharel shows a young boy with a fiddle. Apparently the boy is exhausted from playing music, as he has fallen asleep leaning against a wall. His pretty face is completely relaxed and his left arm keeps the violin from falling to the ground. The sculptural composition of the clothes, loosely swirling around his body, is particularly appealing. The naked toes, pertly sticking out over the plinth, are another playful detail. The bronze is in good condition; the bow, which was initially placed in the boy's right hand, is missing though. The strings of the instrument are slightly bent. The base is signed "THAREL sculpt." And bears the foundry mark "Susse Freres". The plinth measures 27 x 16 cm and the sculpture measures 26 cm in height. Léon Tharel (1858-1902) The French sculptor Léon Tharel (1858-1902) was a pupil of Athanase Fossé. Sculptures by Tharel were exhibited in the Paris Salon in the years 1882 and 1899.
