Lot 325: Pierre Le Faguays (1892-1962), An Art Deco Bronze Sculpture of Diana the Huntress 50cm H

Pierre Le Faguays (French, 1892-1962). A fine Art Deco bronze sculpture entitled Diana the Huntress. The work depicts the goddess in a spirited, athletic pose, balanced upon her right leg atop a rocky outcrop. She is portrayed holding a slender bow aloft, clad in a light, flowing classical tunic that partially reveals her torso. Her hair is skilfully styled in characteristic waves and side buns. The bronze features a rich, dark brown to black patina, suggesting a high-quality lost-wax casting. It is signed Pierre Le Faguays in the maquette on the integral rocky base and bears the incised numbering 64/3. The sculpture is mounted on a separate, stepped circular black stone plinth. 48 x 22 x 15 cm.
