Description
BORIS FRÖDMAN-CLUZEL (1878–1969) At night. Peasant boys guarding horses, after V. Makovsky signed and dated ‘Bor. Froedman-Cluzel 96’ (bottom right) ink on paper 10 x 18 cm (visible area) Executed in 1896. BORIS OKAROVICH FRÖDMAN-CLUZEL (1878–1969) was a Russian sculptor who studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St Petersburg and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Recommended by the House of Fabergé, he worked for the British royal court from around 1907, producing a series of animal sculptures. In 1910, the Galerie Hébrard in Paris held a solo exhibition of his bronze statuettes depicting Russian and French dancers, establishing his reputation as one of the most accomplished sculptors of ballet subjects of his generation. Created in 1896, when the artist was just eighteen years old, this drawing dates from his formative years in Saint Petersburg and is inspired by Vladimir Makovsky’s famous composition, *Nochnoe* (Peasant boys guarding horses at night).
