Description
After Emmanuel Fremiet, French, 1824-1910, a bronze equestrian group entitled 'Chevaux de course et jockeys' (A pair of mounted jockeys), early 20th century, with cast signature E. FREMiET and inscribed F. BARBEDIENNE, Fondeur, 46cm high, 48cm wide, 20cm deep
Note: Chevaux de course et jockeys was first exhibited at the Salon of 1885 (N° 3707) and again at the Exposition Universelle four years later. It was so well received on each occasion that Frémiet sent it on show abroad - to Antwerp in 1885 and Copenhagen in 1888. Horswell considered the group to be 'one of the finest models of this subject to be found in animalier sculpture' (see J. Horswell, Bronze Sculpture of "Les Animaliers" Reference and Price Guide, Woodbridge, 1971, p.185). The bronze master-model is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon (inv.no. 4188).
