About the Item

Émile-Edmond Peynot, (French, 1850 -1932) An exceptional, exquisite and rare orientalist bronze sculpture titled Albaya' El Tunsi / The Tunisian Merchant / The Arab rifleman. Depicting a young Arab cleaning his flintlock pistol. Capturing a moment of contemplative tranquility Peynot's Marchand Tunisien also exudes a sense of strength, power and dignity. In fact the present lot was a great commercial success following its exhibition at the Salon of 1883 making the piece almost a requirement for all major Orientalist collections across time. Size: 26" high x 11" diameter The base signed Peynot-1883 and titled in Arabic Marchand Tunisien. Excellent condition. Minor rubbing and scratches to patina. Very crisp. Literature: H. Berman, Bronzes, Sculptors Founders 1800-1930, Chicago, 1980, vol. IV, p. 951, no. 3646 (another cast illustrated as Young Arab Soldier). M. Forrest, Art Bronzes, Pennsylvania, 1988, p. 438, no. 10.40 (another cast illustrated as Tunisian Arms Merchant). Exhibited Paris, Salon, 1883, no. 1383 (another bronze cast).
