Superb antique nude female bronze sculpture with a plaque inscribed Phryne Devant Ses Juges Par Campagne (Sculptr). The base of the bronze is inscribed Campagne with a foundry seal reading F. P. SANSON SUCC-HAMBURG 4 NEUERWALL. This is Phryne Before the Judges, a superb sculpture by Pierre Etienne Daniel Campagne born 1851. Phryne Before the Judges is his most famous and sought after bronze sculpture. Her face is exquisite matching her beautiful composition . This bronze is pictured on page 1,075 illustration number 4285 in Berman's Bronzes Sculptors and Founders Volume 4. Berman dates the piece circa 1895, I agree. This beautiful bronze measures 18-1/2 inches tall, at its widest width 7-1/2 inches, depth 5-1/4 inches. Other than a little bruise on the upper portion of her left hip, and some minor rubbing to the patina the bronze is in very good to excellent condition. She has a warm medium chocolate patina typical of this artist's works. Guaranteed to please as are all our items. (Item #71468)
