About the Item

ISIDORE JULES BONHEUR French, 1827-1901 "Standing Ram" Patinated bronze sand-cast ca. 1870 signed to base "I. BONHEUR" no foundry mark but almost certainly cast by Peyrol underside noted 328 in ink Item # 412GWR05A The models of Rams by Isidore Bonheur are some of the most cherished models he completed. The present example, like the majority of Bonheur’s work, was almost without doubt cast by the foundry operated by his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol - it is not cold-stamped by the foundry but is constructed in their distinct method. The detail is above reproach, as is always the case with his work during this period. The ram’s face is scientifically exact, a flawless representation of reality expressed in the legs, hooves and proportions; the thick and unruly wool is sculpted in a complex and highly effective manner. A gorgeous and complex patina of light brown with a darker brown in the recesses highlights the texture throughout the model. Artist Listings & Bibliography: Animals in Bronze, Christopher Payne, 2006, p. 371, f.
