Gymnastics/Wrestling/Sculpture. Called "the athlete" or "the - Lot 192
Gymnastics/Wrestling/Sculpture. Called "the athlete" or "the challenge", this superb work by Eutrope Bouret (1833-1906) takes us back to the years 1880-90, when sport was in its infancy and its ambassadors were fairground or circus athletes. This one, with its four-star jersey and pompom, takes us back to that time when the challenge, the glove raised, was part of the show. Dr. Charcot, the great rugby player and explorer testified to this. 46X15. Beautiful patina. Regulates.
