Leopold Bernstamm (1859-1939) - Lot 476
Leopold Bernstamm (1859-1939) Bust of an old woman. Bronze with brown patina. Signed and located " LB BERNSTAMM / PARIS ". Bears the founder's mark " ALEXIS. RUDIER / FOUNDER / PARIS ". Height: 31,5 cm. (Some wear to the patina). Of Russian origin, Bernstamm was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg in 1874. A student of Antonin Mercié, he produced many portraits, including one of Jean-Léon Gérôme and Ernest Renan. Beyond a portrait of an old woman, Bernstamm offers us here, in the tradition of Jules Desbois (Misery, 1894) or Camille Claudel (Mature Age, around 1890), an allegory of old age.
