About the Item

A rare model of what we believe is an adolescent turkey by the important American Animalier Sculptor, Albert Laessle. The dynamically modeled young bird is straining to scratch its back with wings outstretched and legs splayed slightly in stride. The cast is mounted on an original rouge marble base. Laessle spent the years from 1904-1907 working in Paris with Michel Beguine. It is easy to imagine an influence in this work from possible exposure the works of Rembrandt Bugatti and Rodin during this time. The bronze has a rich chocolate patina with some small spots of green oxidation. The integral plinth is marked for Laessle, Paris, 1907, and the Roman Bronze Works. Laessle's work is held in the Met, Peabody and Carnegie Institutes, PAFA, and found in public spaces. He was a student of Anshutz and Grafly, was a long-time instructor at PAFA, and was recognized in lifetime with major awards. Height: ca. 8 3/4 in. Bronze Height: ca. 7 1/4 in. Items purchased from David Sterner Antiques must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.

By Paul Comolera

Located in London, GB

A very fine large late 19th Century Animalier gilt bronze study of a standing cockerel with his chest pushed out in a proud pose as he crows to the eraly morning sunshine, the bronze surface with excellent deep golden colour and fine hand finished detail, signed P.Comolera ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 31 cm Width: 20 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1900 Materials: Bronze SKU: 9324 ABOUT Paul Comolera (French, 1818 ~ 1897) Comolera was born in Paris, France. A very fine sculptor known mainly for his modelling of birds but he also produced some other animal figures as well as portrait busts. Comolera was a student of the early sculptor Francois Rude and he was the teacher of Jules Moigniez, one of the more important sculptors of the Animalier school. There is a distinct similarity in the detail, construction, form, and finish of the works of Comolera and his student Moigniez although Comolera’s birds are considered to be more in the naturalistic style as opposed to the romantic style of his pupil. Paul Comolera made his debut at the Salon in 1846 with a group called Golden Pheasants of China and continued to exhibit there until his death in 1897. Comolera’s bronzes...
