Art Nouveau Spelter Bust

I found this in a thrift store a few years ago.

Unmarked.
8" tall x 7" wide x 3.5" deep



My internet searching found a sale of the original bronze and it was made by Jules Jouant.

My question is, does anyone know if this work has a name?

James.

 

All I could find was the bronze version sans name.

Debora

 

Yes, this is the same auction source, Debora.

i need help, thanks for spotting that. Her name may have been lost to time.

James.

 

this is so generic French art nouveau that it could easily be mistaken, because e.g. Julien Caussé and others produced similar.

If you're saying that it's hard to identify the many unmarked Art Nouveau spelter figures, I'll agree, I have several.

I was just lucky to find the auction selling a signed bust to positively identify its designer.

Do you know if this work was named by the artist?

James.

 

there is one in a book named "la source" that could be a variation.

 

I just posted a link to a youtube about a photographic process call Autochrome.

They are very early color images. The following image was taken in 1908 in the photographer's living room. I smiled to see this ...

 

there's no proof, like good old honest proof !!

 

Remarkable coincidence!
