About the Item
This fine and unusual example of Czech Art Nouveau sculpture -- complete with male and female nudes in profile, and a border of pine branches -- features at its center a portrait of Svatopluk Čech, the great poet and Czech nationalist active in the early 20th century. The nudes are powerful and sensual, and the female nude wears the ornamented headband that Alphonse Mucha made so famous in his poster designs. The sculptor was V. Novák, and here he uses pewter with a silvered finish. The panel was cast by the Bartak foundry in Prague.

"Algernon Sullivan Plaque, " Rare Bas Relief with Nude Figures by Jules Roine
By Jules-Edouard Roiné 1
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This rare and important relief sculpture honors Algernon Sydney Sullivan, one of the most admired and respected attorneys and civic leaders active in New York in the late 19th century. Born a Hoosier, he moved to New York by 1860, and though an ardent abolitionist, felt honor-bound to step forward to defend the sailors of the Confederate ship Savannah, captured by the Union early in the Civil War. He served in the public sector for a decade and fought the Tweed gang. Later, Sullivan created two of the more important and influential law firms in New York in his era -- one of them, Sullivan and Cromwell, continues today -- but he always remained supportive of the poor who could not afford to retain an attorney for legal assistance. In his honor, the Sullivan Fountain was erected in Van Cortlandt...
