signed "Juan Clara" and stamped A.G. Paris and marks L.R. 213 (on the stool )
bronze figure
6-3/8 x 3 x 4 inches (16 X 7.5 X 10 cm.)
PROVENANCE
Private Collector, Madrid
A brown patia bronze sculpture of Art Nouveau style, depicting a little girl sitting on a sidewalk tying her shoe.
The plasticity that Juan Clará achieves with the bronze when shaping this beautiful little sculpture is wonderful. We notice the effort that the little girl is making to put on her shoe, her gestures and attitudes which moves us and attracts us towards her.

Student of José Berga at the Olot School of Fine Arts, developed his training in France, first at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse, in 1896, and from 1901 in Paris. At this stage he lived with his younger brother, José Clará...

A tabletop-sized solid bronze casting of Michelangelo's "Winged David", on a solid marble base. You can see his giant-killer sling "slung" over his shoulder. Fine detail.
