Evgeny Lanceray. A 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.

Bronze Figure of Vercingetorix Triumphant Against the Romans by Henryk KOSSOWSKI II (1855-1921)
Estimate: 2500-3000€Henryk Kossowski II (1855–1921)
Vercingetorix Triumphant Against the Romans
France (or Poland–France), late 19th century
Patinated bronze, signed on the base
Height: 79.5 cmThis powerful bronze by Henryk Kossowski II depicts Vercingetorix, the Gallic chieftain celebrated for his defiant stand against Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars (52 BCE). Captured in a moment of victorious exaltation, the figure raises his sword to the sky, his shield and discarded Roman helmet at his feet symbolizing courage, rebellion, and national pride.
Kossowski renders the warrior’s anatomy with exceptional vitality, combining Romantic expressiveness with the academic precision characteristic of late 19th-century sculpture. The dynamic upward gesture and intense facial expression evoke the ideals of liberty and sacrifice, themes deeply resonant in the national art of occupied Poland and in French historical imagination alike.
Born in Poland, Henryk Kossowski II worked extensively in Paris, where he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1877. His oeuvre includes religious, allegorical, and historical subjects, often blending dramatic movement with refined naturalism.

Estimate: 6000-7000€Émile Louis Picault (1833–1915)
St. George Slaying the Dragon
France, late 19th century
Bronze, signed “E. Picault”
Height: 78 cmThis monumental bronze by Émile Louis Picault depicts St. George, the Christian knight and dragon-slayer, standing triumphantly over the defeated beast. The sculpture captures the hero at rest after battle — his pose calm and resolute, his gaze lowered in quiet reflection. The finely rendered armor, detailed sword, and naturalistic anatomy reveal Picault’s exceptional skill in modeling bronze with both strength and grace.
A leading figure of 19th-century French sculpture, Picault was renowned for his allegorical and patriotic subjects as well as mythological heroes. Trained in Paris, he began exhibiting at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in 1863 and went on to produce more than 500 models during his prolific career. His works often explored virtues such as courage, honor, and diligence, rendered with expressive energy and precise craftsmanship.
Examples of his work can be found in major French museums, including:
Chambéry (Le Semeur d’idées, 45 cm)
Clermont-Ferrand (Hébé, 93 cm)
Maubeuge (Le Devoir, Honor Patria, 45 cm)
Troyes (La Famille, joies et peines)
