An Art Nouveau Bronze Figural Ewer Modelled With A Water Nymph by Auguste Ledru, Cast by Susse Frères.
Inscribed 'Susse F. Paris Edt.', stamped also to the underside and dated 1895.
This impressive ewer is of patinated bronze, with marine and erotic imagery, cast and applied in high relief. A fully modelled female figure of a water nymph reclines on the shoulder of the ewer surrounded by swirling waters. The rim and spout of the ewer is cast with a mask of Neptune.
Auguste Ledru
Auguste Ledru was a pupil of Dumont, Bonnassieux, Thomas and Boisseaux and made his debut at the Salon of 1883. Although trained as a monumental sculptor he devoted most of his work to the decorative arts creating small items often of sensual design incorporating nudes, nymphs and natural forms.
