Sale commission
Description
Edouard-Marcel SANDOZ (Basel 1881 – 1971 Lausanne). Rabbit with one ear raised, known as a ‘lapin boulant’ or ‘lapin bijou’. Small bronze figurine, brown patina, signed Ed. M. Sandoz. Cast by Susse Frères, signed on the plinth ‘Susse Fes Edts Paris’. 5.5 x 6 x 4 cm. A Swiss-born animal sculptor, Édouard-Marcel Sandoz ranks amongst the masters of Art Deco animal sculpture, alongside François Pompon, Rembrandt Bugatti, Georges Guyot and Armand Petersen. He also created porcelain designs for Haviland. His animals, with their simplified forms and poses captured with humour, foreshadow in certain respects the bestiary of François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne. The little rabbit with its ear pricked up, a recurring motif in his work, is listed in the catalogue raisonné compiled by Félix Marcilhac, a reference work that provides detailed documentation of its production by Susse Frères.
