Patinated corrugated iron fisherman sculpture. French School. 19th century.

Descriptio Patinated tin on a circular wooden base. Dimensions: 40 x 13 x 13 cm. The male figure is shown standing, holding a marine rope and raising his arm in an energetic gesture. The base retains the inscription "Le Commerce, " indicating its possible allegorical connection to work and the sea. The vigorous modeling, dynamic body, and confident expression are characteristic of the 19th-century French naturalist style, where tin sculpture gained great popularity for its realism and its affordable production in industrial workshops. 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. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.

Estimate:$278.76
