Evgeny Lanceray. Russian bronze composition “Little Kyrgyz or Bashkir the herdsman”
Estimate: 2000-3000€Evgeny Lanceray. Little Kyrgyz (or Bashkir Herdsman)
Model 1879
Bronze. Dimensions: 19 × 23 × 10 cm
St. Petersburg, late 19th centuryThis bronze composition by Evgeny Lanceray represents a mounted Bashkir herdsman, shown in dynamic motion, holding a lasso in his hand. The work belongs to Lanceray’s celebrated ethnographic series, inspired by his extensive travels across Russia and its borderlands.
The model was created in 1879 but reflects impressions from an earlier journey to Bashkiria in the early 1870s. Like many of Lanceray’s works, The Bashkir Herdsman combines vivid ethnographic detail with the sculptor’s gift for narrative and movement, making it one of his best-known works of small-scale realist sculpture.
During the sculptor’s lifetime and in the late 19th century, the composition was cast at the Chopin and Shtange foundries in St. Petersburg. In the early 20th century, it was also reproduced without foundry marks, both by large firms such as the Moscow workshop of A. M. Postnikov and by smaller private foundries in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Le Devoir (Duty)
France, late 19th century
Patinated bronze, signed “E. Picault” on base, with stamp “Réduction Mécanique A. Collas”
Height: 77 cm
This finely cast bronze by Émile Louis Picault represents Le Devoir — “Duty” — a classical warrior symbolizing civic virtue, courage, and moral steadfastness. The figure stands poised, holding a sword, embodying the ideals of honor and devotion to one’s homeland. The work’s dynamic realism and noble restraint exemplify the heroic allegorical style that made Picault one of the most admired sculptors of the French Third Republic.Cast with Picault’s characteristic attention to anatomy and drapery, the sculpture bears the mechanical reduction stamp of A. Collas, referring to Achille Collas’s innovative 19th-century process for creating precise scaled reductions of large bronzes.
Émile Louis Picault trained under the Dutch sculptor Louis Royer and exhibited extensively at the Paris Salon between 1863 and 1909. His works often depicted allegorical, patriotic, and mythological subjects — celebrating labor, honor, knowledge, and heroism.
