About the Item

This magnificent and highly dynamic Art Deco sculpture captures an athletic male figure, the Archer, at the apex of his draw, embodying the strength and idealized movement celebrated by the period. Crafted in terracotta circa 1930 in France, the piece features a striking antique-style gold and verdigris patina, enhancing the figure's powerful, kinetic pose and refined musculature, a style characteristic of the best French Art Deco figurative works often compared to masters like Jean de Roncourt or Pierre Le Faguays. The figure is mounted on an integral plinth-like base and is marked "306 MAF." on the base. Dimensions W 71.5 cm /28.1 in., D 20 cm / 7.9in., H 52 cm/ 20.5 in.
