Sculpture in bronze with brown patina "Saint Michel slaying the dragon" after the original by Emmanuel Fremiet. It represents the winged Saint raising his sword in the air to bring it down on the dragon which climbs on the pedestal of the statue. He is dressed in armour with a coat of mail, a bulging helmet and a tunic floating around him. In his left hand, he holds a small shield with a point. His head is surrounded by a halo. This very detailed work shows great chiselling. The whole rests on a pedestal in Marble...

A most rare model of Fremiet's St. Celicia, it features a vibrant gilded patina over a heavily textured and worked bronze. Unlike the carefully finished and often silky surfaces of Fremiet's serialized casts, the present model exhibits more like a maquette with loose working of the details and fresh tooling of the model captured brilliantly in the bronze medium. It feels very immediate, like the surface is still in transition, the scraping and cross-hatching of garments left raw and in a state of progression. The model is beautifully developed over the wax example held in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay, which presents in slightly smaller dimensions and without the harp. The mold underlying the present example was incised FREMIET and ScA CELICIA, which transferred over to the bronze model without later cold-tooling. The catalogue text from Shepherd Galleries where this model was exhibited and subsequently acquired from in 2014 offers some excellent overview of the model: "Beginning around 1883, Frémiet created eight statuettes, including the present St. Cecilia. It is an homage to his son-in-law, the composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). The banderole, swirling around the saint, is incised with the name G. Fauré, and with musical notations in a histori- cally correct manner: they are notations of a Gregorian chant, written on four lines with rectan- gular or square notes. Frémiet knew what he was doing there, either from research or from his father-in-law. It was - historically- the closest Frémiet could get to the Roman martyr, the patroness of musicians. Fauré married Marie Frémiet, the artist’s sister, in 1883, the possible date of the present sculpture. The young musician...
