19th and 20th Century Sculpture: Including Works by Rodin’s Teacher, Carrier-Belleuse
It has been a while since I have posted images from an auction, so I went looking to see what’s out there! I came across this great auction! I say it everytime, but I love the great high resolution captures of art that the big auction houses provide. Sotheby’s is no exception of course. They are leading the way!
Sculpture auctions are especially fun when they include rotations of the work as well as some details. Check out the different views of this beautiful work:
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, 1824 – 1887. Bust of a Girl – terracotta, on a faux marble socle
Terra-cotta sculpture is so appealing to me. I love the color and detail that if often offers. It seems there was a golden era of terra-cotta sculpture from this era. So many stunning works!
Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, 1824 – 1887. L’Amazone captive (The Captive Amazon) – terracotta, on an ebonised wood base
Look at this gorgeous marble sculpture. I love the way Deloye used subtle different textures on the marble to convey different subjects. Also look at the masterful way the roses are sculpted into the fabric in the back view. It is impressionistic, with forms indicated and lost edges. It’s like a Sargent painting 🙂
Gustave Deloye, 1848 – 1899. La Fortune – white marble, on a fleur de pêcher marble base
This bronze archer below is so cool. I love the detail of the costume and armor as well as the way different patinas were employed to convey the different the skin and some of the materials. I’d love to fill my home with sculpture like this!
Albert-Ernst Carrier-Belleuse, 1824 – 1887. Renaissance Archer – bronze, dark brown patina, on a black marble base
Go and visit the site and take in the rest of the amazing works in this auction collection! Can we start a Muddy Colors museum and crowdsource some funding to buy great works!? 🙂
Thanks for giving this a read!

These are beautiful, Howard. Thank you for sharing. Love the patina on the last one!!
You’re welcome! Yeah, that’s always cool to see. I saw an ancient Greek sculpture of a boxer in Rome that had some amazing multi-colored patina as well as copper embellishments welded to the bronze to indicate blood and wounds. It was so beautiful.
These are beautiful, Howard. Thank you for sharing. Love the patina on the last one!!

Wow, these sculptures are incredible! The detail on that bronze archer is mind-blowing. Imagine having something like that at home! So inspiring!
Great post! I totally agree, the high-res images from auction houses are a fantastic resource for art lovers. That terracotta ‘Bust of a Girl’ by Carrier-Belleuse is stunning – the warmth of the material really comes through. And your description of Deloye’s ‘La Fortune’ as being like a Sargent painting is spot on; the way the roses are almost impressionistic is beautiful. Thanks for sharing these finds!
