Description

Fine Patinated Bronze Sculpture of a Native American Indian on a Canoe

Maker: Duchoiselle (19th Century)
Origin: French
Dimension: 24 in x 36 in.

Duchoiselle's life is largely unknown, except for his work on the ceilings of the Paris Opera Garnier and the Louvre, and his idealized figures of Native Americans, a subject that captivated the imagination of European artists at the end of the 19th century.

The present work was conceived as part of a set of sculptures depicting Native Americans as allegories of Fishing and Hunting, where the female figure is accompanied by a male figure wearing a head dress and carrying a bow.
