About the Item
An exceptional Japanese Meiji bronze sculpture of a man and water buffalo on a natural polished oak stand by renowned Japanese master craftsman Genryusai Seiya and dating from around 1880/90. The large bronze depicts an elderly man holding a pipe and tobacco pouch sat astride a water buffalo on a wooden slatted saddle mounted on a rush mat tied on with rope and with a large straw hat resting on the back of the buffalo. The man guides the walking buffalo with a rope tied to its nose. The bronze is mounted on a thick natural section of oak which has been polished and treated using the natural features of the wood to enhance the presentation of the bronze. The bronze has a wonderful deep dark natural patina only achieved with care and age and has obviously been cherished by its previous owner. A seal mark Dai-Nihon Genryusai Seiya zo is impressed to the lower body of the buffalo. One of the finest examples we have ever encountered and had the pleasure in offering for sale.

French, Antique Bronze Sculpture of Aberdeen Angus Bull by Isidore Bonheur
By Isidore Jules Bonheur
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ISIDORE JULES BONHEUR
French, 1827-1901
Taureau Aberdeen-Angus" (Standing Aberdeen-Angus Bull)
Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed to base "I. BONHEUR"
Item # 211HDB17Z
An exquisite and very rare casting of an Aberdeen-Angus bull, an unusual and distinctive breed of cattle from Scotland, this sculpture by Isidore Jules Bonheur is almost without a doubt cast by the foundry of his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol and a rather early model as well in light of the distinctive construction method. In her text on the selection of 46 animal bronzes in the collection of the Georgia Museum of Art, Eleanor Luciano notes regarding this model that "Bonheur is never recorded to have been to Scotland, where he would have seen this unusual breed. Rosa Bonheur painted in Scotland, and its seems likely that Isidore would have drawn the idea for this bull either from one of her sketches or from an agricultural show in France. The animal's rich mane and strong modeling make this one of the most successful." Notable is the very fine surface patination which exhibits a glassy finish with a complex range of colors presenting in the body of the bull, overall being medium brown but augmented with an underlying reddish hue against auburn highlights. The base is signed "I. BONHEUR" in the typical manner.
