Polar Bears – Bronze by Marcel Debut (1865–1933), Art Deco Influence
Located in Gent, VOV
This rare bronze sculpture by Marcel Debut (1865–1933) presents a unique departure from his more frequently encountered mythological and allegorical themes, venturing into the realm of animalier sculpture. The piece depicts two polar bears, one resting and the other in an alert posture, rendered with a masterful blend of naturalism and expression. The textured modeling of the fur and musculature reflects Debut’s strong academic training while incorporating an impressionistic approach to surface treatment.
A notable aspect of this sculpture is its curved base, a subtle yet clear indication of Art Deco influence. Unlike traditional animalier works, which often rest on rigid, symmetrical bases, this dynamic foundation lends a sense of fluidity to the composition, reinforcing the motion and interaction between the two animals. This element suggests that the piece was created during the later period of Debut’s career, as Art Deco aesthetics—with their emphasis on stylized and elegant forms—began to shape sculptural design.
The choice of subject, polar bears, is also intriguing within the animalier tradition. While French sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries frequently depicted felines, horses, and other terrestrial animals, this work stands out for its intimate, contemplative depiction of arctic wildlife. Rather than emphasizing a dramatic hunting or combat scene, Debut captures a quiet moment of interaction between the two bears, showcasing his ability to infuse emotion and realism into his subjects.
The patina of the bronze is rich and varied, enhancing the play of light on the textured surface and contributing to the lifelike quality of the sculpture. The artist’s signature “Debut” is clearly visible, further confirming its authenticity.
With its balance of academic realism, impressionistic texture, and Art Deco design principles, this bronze sculpture is a remarkable testament to Marcel Debut’s versatility as an artist. Its combination of naturalistic observation, expressive modeling, and modernist elegance makes it a rare and desirable piece within the canon of French animalier sculpture.

Children playing in a forest
Located in Gent, VOV
Amédée Elié Servin — (1829-1884) : Children playing in a forest
A nice and confidently painted scene of three children playing in the midst of a dark forest. Through clever use of colour and light and dark effects, Elié Servin creates a mysterious and fairytale-like scene in which all attention is drawn to the playing children.
Amédée-Élie Servin (1829-1884)
Servin Amédée-Élie was a French painter and engraver, founder of the artistic community of Villiers-sur-Morin.
Servin was born to a tanner, who, disappointed by his son's failure in his studies, apprenticed him to an upholsterer where he learned to draw cartoons. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts and studied under the painter Michel Martin Drolling. At this school, he befriended students of his generation, such as Jean-Jacques Henner, Benjamin Ulmann and Paul Baudry...

Edgard Degas: Horse Clearing an Obstacle (work 48 /certified by Comité Degas)

Horse Clearing an Obstacle (work number 48)
Bronze with dark brown green patina bearing the stamp of the signature "Degas",

Posthumous lost wax casting as of 1998.
Stamp of Valsuani.

The work is a sought-after rarity in terms of Degas’ sculptures. This bronze is distinguished by the fact that it is a Valsuani bronze, meaning it faithfully records Degas’ wax version’s as it appeared at the time of its creation. Most Degas' bronzes that are found on the market were cast by Hébrard – these serialized bronzes are surmoulages, or “aftercasts,” that were cast from the modèle bronzes currently in the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena).
