This early 20th-century French sculpture showcases the elegance and naturalism characteristic of the Art Nouveau period. The piece features a solid silver-tone metal depiction of an elephant in mid-stride, carrying a rider atop its back. The elephant’s tusks are meticulously carved from bone, adding a refined touch to the overall composition. The attention to detail is evident in the finely rendered folds of the rider’s garments and the realistic portrayal of the elephant’s textured skin. The sculpture is anchored by a substantial stone base, with cream and earthy tones that complement the metallic sheen of the figures.
Art Nouveau, a movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often drew inspiration from the natural world, with flowing lines and organic forms dominating the aesthetic. French artisans of this era, known for their skillful integration of craftsmanship and artistry, frequently incorporated animal motifs into their work. This sculpture exemplifies the period’s fascination with the beauty of nature, merging intricate design with lifelike representation.
