Figurine of a French Sphinx by M. Ovchinnikov
. Silver, casting, chasing, white material, jasper. Makers mark of M. Ovchinnikov with the Imperial warrant. Petersburg, 1908-1917.
The sphinx is shown in the traditional pose of a reclining lion with a female head. The face and neck are carved from white material, with the hair tied back with a ribbon. The body, enveloped in drapery, is cast in silver, with finely detailed folds and leonine paws. The figure rests on a rectangular jasper (?) base.
The revived Mannerist sphinx of the late 15th century is sometimes thought of as the “French sphinx”. Her coiffed head is erect and she has the breasts of a young woman. The motif of women sphinx during Art Deco period can also be connected to the motif of the “femme fatale” figure in decorative art in which a typically female-like figure or beast seduces men. This could be a depiction of either Madame Pompadour or Madame DuBarry, who were both mistresses to Louis XV, and often had their likenesses depicted atop the robed body of a sphinx.
The use of the chryselephantine technique — a combination of precious metal and white material — has its origins in antiquity and enjoyed renewed popularity in European decorative arts during the Art Deco period.
