Rare Patinated Bronze Statue of a Native American Indian Archer on the Hunt
About the Item
A rare bronze of a bare chested sinewy Native American Indian warrior/ archer in a crouching position with one leg out for support and the other in a kneeling position as he is in throes of shooting an arrow skywards presumably hunting for a bird. The Indian is dressed in full traditional garb with patterned cotton woven loin cloth, a head band with a single feather. Buckskin leather frilly pants and moccasins. Slung on his back is a leather sheath holding a quiver of arrows. A belt holds a feathered tomahawk on one side and a sheated hunting knife on the other. The base of the bronze is designed to simulate a rocky terrain typical of the American Plains.
The bronze has a P J Mene signature but carries no foundry mark. Is the bronze indeed a work of the famous French 19 century "Animalier" Sculptor Pierre Jules Mene! (1810-1879). If it is it would make it extremely rare and perhaps a one of as no record of it of the subject could be found in reference books on Mene.
The famous Mene is known almost exclusively for his animal sculptors. He has a lot of work with human figures in them but invariably there are always animals associated with them such as a jockey riding a horse. So until an expert opinion is rendered on this bronze by a PJ Mene expert, the pricing of the bronze is based purely on its artistic value and the rarity of the subject.

A Patinated Bronze Statue of a Seated Greek Scholar signed Moreau
By Mathurin Moreau
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
A patinated cast bronze statue of a classically draped Greek scholar sitting sideways on a Klismos chair with the trademark griphons as front leg supports, the subject holding a pen in his right hand and an open scroll on the other left signed "Moreau" inscribed on one side of the chair. There are no visible foundry marks.
Presumably the signature stands for Mathurin Moreau, a 19 Century French sculptor born 1822, and son of noted sculptor Jean Baptiste Moreau. In 1841, the 19 year old Mathirin entered the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and, the following year, won the Second Grand Prix de Rome with his sculpture Diodemus removing the Palladium. Several of his works remain on public display in Paris, among them on the facade of the Gare du Nord...

Pair of patinated bronze Native American figures after Kauba
Austrian, Early 20th Century
Brave figure: Height 31cm, width 16cm, depth 19cm
Chieftain figure: Height 28cm, width 16cm, depth 14cm
This pair of cold-painted and patinated bronze figures were made by Alfonzo Titze, cast from models by Carl Kauba (1865-1922), who was a removed Austrian artist particularly known for his patinated bronze depictions of the Wild West.
The bronzes portray a pair of Native Americans, each one standing on a rough-hewn deep red marble base.
The first figure portrays a Native American warrior, called a brave. Leaning forward his mouth is open as if he is shouting. A small feather headdress ornaments the figure's head. Vibrant red frills are decorating parts of the trousers and shirt, an animal fur boa, as well as a yellow, blue, and white scarf covering his body.
The chieftain who is portrayed in the second figure is wearing traditional Native American clothing...
