A 19C TERRACOTTA HARLEQUIN

Wonderful patinated terracotta harlequin signed Marceaux 1879. There is a loss to the base that appears intentional to the appearance. Tall, impressive and a rarity in terracotta.Charles René de Paul de Saint-Marceaux (23 September 1845 – 23 April 1915) was a French sculptor. He exhibited at the Paris salon from 1868, when, passing up the competition for the Prix de Rome, he decided to spend time in Florence instead. He passed a second sojourn in Italy in 1873–74. On his return, his marble Génie gardant le secret de la tombe ("Spirit Guarding the Secret of the Tomb"), conserved in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, shows the marked influence of Michelangelo.[1]
