About the Item

A Lifesize Orientalist Sculpture Attributed to Louis Hottot Of spectacular scale, constructed from spelter and on a bronze-mounted veneered plinth, the striking orientalist figure of a woman dressed in Arabian fashion, her flowing garb and headdress rendered with billowing folds, with hoop earrings and a necklace retaining col-painted polychrome details, the figure perched on the edge of a small table as she holds a feather fan in her right hand, a monumental twin-handled vase towering next to her with exquisite decoration on the surface of geometric motifs and calligraphy. French, circa 1890 Dimensions: H: 79 in / 200 cm W: 25.5 in / 64 cm D: 32.5 in / 82 cm Louis Hottot (1834-1906) Hottot specialised in Orientalist scenes and figures, and many of his works were produced in spelter rather than the more traditional bronze. His workshop in Paris producing so-called 'bronzes d'imitation' was first mentioned in 1863. He participated at the Paris exposition universelle of 1867, and later exhibited at the yearly Paris Salons from 1885 until 1898.

An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot

An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot

By Louis Hottot

Located in Brighton, West Sussex

An Orientalist Lifesize Figural Bronze Statue, Attributed to Louis Hottot (French, 1834-1906). Modelled as a lady in Ottoman dress standing beneath an Eastern style pagoda with minaret. Depicting as if answering a call and stepping forward in greeting. France, Circa 1890. This impressive figural group is a rare work in bronze attributed to the Orientalist sculptor Louis Hottot whose oeuvre is more readily associated with what was called ‘bronze imitation’, referring to sculpture in white-metal or, as it is known today, spelter. That this large statue is cast from superior and costly bronze is indicative of its rarity and importance. The Orientalist subject relates to paintings by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), Ludwig Deutsch (1855–1935) Gustav Bauernfeind...
