Ca. 400-500 AD (or later).A bronze statue of Buddha is a remarkable representation of the enlightened figure in a solid metal form. Standing with his right hand raised in the abhayamudra, a gesture of fearlessness and protection, this statue exudes a sense of tranquility and compassion. The Buddha's attire includes the sanghati, a monastic robe that drapes gracefully around his body, revealing the soft contours and fleshy forms beneath. The intricate cascading drapery of his garment adds a sense of fluidity and movement to the sculpture, enhancing its visual appeal. The face of the Buddha is finely cast, capturing delicate features that convey a sense of serenity and wisdom. Full lips and heavy-lidded eyes, accentuated by gentle eyebrows, create an expression of calm and introspection. The pendulous earlobes, symbolic of the Buddha's renunciation of worldly attachments, are meticulously crafted, drawing attention to the spiritual significance of the figure. The hair, arranged in tight curls over the ushnisha, a cranial protuberance symbolizing enlightenment, further emphasizes the divine nature of the Buddha. An important aspect of the Buddha's appearance is the presence of a dot between the eyebrows, known as the urna. This auspicious mark signifies the Buddha's heightened perception and inner vision. It serves as a reminder of his deep spiritual insight and the ability to perceive truths beyond the ordinary realm. The Gandharan bronze statue of Buddha not only exemplifies the artistic skill of the Gandhara region but also reflects the religious and cultural significance of Buddhism during that period. These statues were revered as objects of devotion and used as focal points for meditation and contemplation. As physical representations of the enlightened one, they served as reminders of the path to enlightenment and sources of inspiration for practitioners. For a similar, see The British Museum, Registration number 1958,0714.1. This item comes with a custom-made stand. Size: L:310mm / W:120mm ; 2.27kg Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.

Ca. 1600-1700 AD or later.The bronze statue portrays the resplendent figure of Tara, a revered deity in Buddhist traditions. Tara is a symbol of compassion and represents the divine feminine energy that nurtures and protects all beings. Standing with a slight flexion in her left knee, this depiction of Tara conveys a sense of grace and eternal youthfulness. A prominent element of the sculpture is the lotus that blossoms from Tara's shoulder. The lotus, an emblem of purity and enlightenment, serves as a reminder of Tara's role in guiding individuals on the path of spiritual growth and awakening. Its presence reinforces the symbolism of Tara as a compassionate guide who leads devotees towards liberation and the realization of their inner potential. The statue's intricate facial features command attention and admiration. The artist has skillfully captured the delicate contours of Tara's face, accentuating her eyes, which gaze with serene compassion, and her slender eyebrows that contribute to her expression of wisdom and kindness. The elaborate crown adorning her head signifies her status as a deity and symbolizes her transcendent nature. What captivates the viewer most is Tara's enigmatic smile. It is a smile that radiates tranquility and a deep understanding of the human condition, inviting contemplation and evoking a sense of wonder and reverence. The smile serves as a reminder of Tara's unwavering support and guidance, offering solace and encouragement to those who seek her blessings. This item comes with a custom-made stand. Size: L:305mm / W:125mm ; 1.37kg Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.

After François Girardon (French 1628-1715): The Abduction of Proserpine by Pluto, brown patinated bronze, 102cms high overall, base 36 x 38cms.NB François Girardon was a sculptor widely regarded for his statuary in the gardens of Versailles. Girardon lived and apprenticed in Rome for a period, and although the artist preferred classicism and ancient Roman sculpture, he often worked in the Baroque style.Louis XIV commissioned Girardon to create one of four monumental marble groups intended to decorate the corners of Charles Le Brun's never-completed garden at Versailles, the Parterre d'Eau. Each group of three figures symbolized one of the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. Pluto's association with Hell made him an apt symbol of fire.Girardon's marble was reproduced as a small bronze from the late seventeenth century onwards.This figural group exemplifies the movement, vibrancy, and energy highly regarded at the time. Girardon's design is perfected by not only the twist of the composition, but also the classical clarity of the figures.The Wallace Collection in London, the Louvre, Windsor Castle and the Getty Museum in Malibu own identical pieces in varying sizes but this example is amongst the largest examples.

After the Antique: The Jennings Dog, patinated bronze, on marble base, 13cms high.Notes: The Jennings Dog (also known as The Duncombe Dog or The Dog of Alcibiades) is a Roman sculpture of a dog with a docked tail. Named for its first modern owner, Henry Constantine Jennings, it is a 2nd-century AD Roman copy of a Hellenistic bronze original. The original was probably of the 2nd century BC. It is 1.05 metres (3 ft 5 in) high; its leonine muzzle and one leg have been repaired since its rediscovery.

After the Antique; The Dying Gaul, patinated bronze, 15 x 8 x 7cms high.Notes:The Dying Gaul, also called The Dying Galatian or The Dying Gladiator, is an ancient Roman marble semi-recumbent statue now in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. It is a copy of a now lost sculpture from the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) thought to have been made in bronze. The original may have been commissioned at some time between 230 and 220 BC by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia. The original sculptor is believed to have been Epigonus, a court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon.Until the 20th Century the marble statue was usually known as The Dying Gladiator, on the assumption that it depicted a wounded gladiator in a Roman amphitheatre. However, in the mid-19th Century it was re-identified as a Gaul or Galatian and the present name "Dying Gaul" gradually achieved popular acceptance. The identification as a "barbarian" was evidenced for the figure's torc, thick hair and mustache, weapons and shield carved on the floor, and a type of Gallic carnyx between his legs

Byron Howard (b.1947): "Barbirolli's Hands"/"Rarely, Rarely, Cometh Thou Spirit of Delight", modelled as the music conductor Sir John Barbirolli's hands outstretched and in motion, with verse inscribed on the composer's cuff, patinated bronze on a marble plinth, with brass plaque, limited edition 2/6, 42cms long, 31cms high x 32cms wide.Provenance: Purchased by Mr and Mrs Brown from the Artist's studio in Fishlake near Doncaster in 2005. With certificate of authenticity.The artist Byron Howard attended Doncaster School of Art in the late 1970s/early 1980s which was run by the above Ken Brown. So impressed was the staff that Byron was invited to take the sculpture class himself. Byron was later invited by Lady Barbirolli to produce a bronze bust of Sir John which now is sited outside Manchester Free Trade Hall in recognition of Sir John in setting up and conducting the Halle Orchestra. Mr and Mrs Brown would attend the concerts conducted by Sir John in the 1950s, a connection which also attracted them to the sculpture.

After the Antique: Apollo Belvedere, patinated bronze, on marble base, 25cms high.Note: The Apollo Belvedere (also called the Belvedere Apollo, Apollo of the Belvedere, or Pythian Apollo) is a celebrated marble sculpture from classical antiquity. The Apollo is now thought to be an original Roman creation of Hadrianic date (c. 120–140 AD), though in a Hellenistic style. The distinctively Roman footwear is one reason scholars believe it is not a copy of an original Greek statue. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century during the Italian Renaissance and was placed on semi-public display in the Vatican Palace in 1511, where it remains. It is now in the Cortile del Belvedere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex.

Born in Germany, Haase displayed artistic abilities from a young age and pursued formal training in sculpture at various renowned art academies.Haase's artistic style was primarily influenced by the neoclassical and naturalistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He demonstrated a remarkable ability to capture human forms with great precision and detail, infusing his sculptures with a sense of grace and vitality.Throughout his career, Haase created a diverse range of sculptures, including portrait busts, figurative works, and monumental pieces. He often drew inspiration from historical figures, mythological themes, and everyday life, translating them into three-dimensional sculptures that conveyed a sense of emotion and narrative.Haase's sculptures were characterised by their technical mastery and attention to anatomical accuracy. He was skilled in capturing the subtleties of facial expressions, gestures, and drapery, bringing his subjects to life in a realistic and captivating manner.H Gladenbeck and Sohn was arguably the most important German foundry of the time. Opened in Berlin in 1851, it cast many of the very best sculptures in bronze, but eventually closed in 1926. Condition ReportPatina good overall. Some spotting to the base.

Sir Alfred Gilbert, M.V.O., R.A (British 1854-1934): A patinated bronze figure of 'An Offering to Hymen'The youthful nude maiden with downcast serene expression, her fringed hair arranged in a low bun at the nape of her neck, her hands outstretched in tribute, raised on an octagonal shallow plinth with winged figures and masks to each corner, now lacking the figure's offering, 29cm high overallFootnotes:There are a number of versions of this statuette including one in the Winchester Museum and one at the Victoria and Albert Museum. In some versions the figure holds a sprig of hawthorn, a goblet, a flower, a small figure of Anteros (god of unrequited love and brother of Eros) or a putto with an inverted torch as an offering to Hymen the god of marriage.An Offering to Hymen (or Young Girl with Votive to Hymen -to use it's catalogue title) was conceived in Rome in 1884. Upon his return to London Gilbert modelled the statue from one of the three Miss Pettigrews - Hetty, Lily and Rose. The professional model sisters had posed for a number of prolific artists including Leighton, Whistler, Poynter, Holman Hunt and Millais. The bronze cast was exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery for the first time in 1886.Before the discovery of the full-size cast of 'Offering to Hymen' (30ins high overall) the work was looked upon as one of Gilbert's relatively minor works. However it is now apparent that Gilbert conceived the work as an equal third statue in the progression from Perseus to Icarus which depicted adolescents facing the passage from youth to maturity. Thus the statuette takes on a new level of nuance, the young woman's stance appears rigid conveying both anxiety and solemnity. LiteratureS.
