Don César de Bazan
France, late 19th century
Bronze with double patina, signed “E. Picault”
Height: 86 cm.
This dynamic bronze sculpture by Émile Louis Picault portrays Don César de Bazan, the dashing nobleman and soldier from the 1872 opera Don César de Bazan by Jules Massenet, a character also found in Victor Hugo’s play Ruy Blas. Picault captures the quintessential romantic hero — bold, proud, and slightly defiant — frozen mid-gesture with sword in hand and cloak flowing in motion. The piece reflects the artist’s fascination with themes of honor, individuality, and chivalric elegance.Executed with a double patina, the sculpture demonstrates Picault’s technical virtuosity in bronze casting, contrasting warm and dark tones to emphasize both the richness of costume and the expressiveness of the figure’s face.
Émile Louis Picault, born in Paris in 1833, was among the most prolific sculptors of the 19th century, creating over 500 models throughout his long career. A frequent exhibitor at the Salon des Beaux-Arts from 1863 onward, Picault specialized in allegorical, patriotic, and mythological subjects. His works, notable for their meticulous detail and vitality, exemplify the moral and aesthetic ideals of the Belle Époque.

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.

A Russian wood composition ” Cossack on a horse”
Estimate: 500-600€Cossack on Horseback
Russia (Danzig [Gdańsk], then part of the Russian Empire), late 19th century
Wood, metal
Dimensions: 21.5 × 16 × 7 cm
Inscribed: “А. Ханыковъ. Данцигъ”A finely carved wooden composition depicting a Cossack horseman, holding a lance and seated on a spirited mount. The sculpture bears a dedication to Alexander Vladimirovich Khanykov (1825–1853) — a noted Russian revolutionary and member of the Petrashevsky Circle, an intellectual and reformist movement in mid-19th century St. Petersburg.
Khanykov, a volunteer student at the St. Petersburg University, was an active participant in the philosophical and political circles of Mikhail Petrashevsky and Nikolai Kashkin. A passionate advocate of Charles Fourier’s socialist ideas, Khanykov delivered a public speech in memory of Fourier on April 7, 1849. That same year, he was arrested in connection with the Petrashevsky case, sentenced to death (later commuted to exile as a private in the Orenburg line battalions).
In exile, Khanykov initiated a secret Russo–Polish–Ukrainian circle, which likely included the poet Taras Shevchenko, also serving in Orenburg. Members of the group held political discussions, wrote satirical pamphlets against the imperial government, and circulated banned literature on economics, geography, and history. Khanykov also compiled a clandestine manuscript on world history praising popular sovereignty and the ideals of the French Revolution of 1789 and 1848, expressing sympathy for Christian socialism.
This wooden sculpture — created in Danzig (now Gdańsk) — appears to be a commemorative or symbolic representation of Khanykov’s revolutionary courage and his association with the frontier and Cossack imagery.
