Particularly noteworthy is the careful and detailed modelling, typical of French sculpture of realist heritage.

He developed his career in France and exhibited his works to the public from 1869 onwards. He is now represented in museums such as Sheffield Museum in England, as well as in numerous private collections.

          Est: €2,000 - €2,500

          ARTHUR WAAGEN (Memel, Lithuania, 1833 - France, 1898). Clock "Valkyrie" "The time is money", ca. 1900. Sculpture in calamine with incorporated clock. Signed. Measurements: 70 x 39 x 23 cm. Round bust made of patinated bronze, representing an exotic and beautiful oriental princess, with a smiling face and rich attire composed mainly of coins, reflecting the sumptuousness of the East imagined by Europeans. It also has a fantastic mask on the chest, of classical mannerist inspiration, under which we can see the clock face, with a bronze front and Roman numerals in cobalt blue on white porcelain cartouches, with hands in the shape of a pike and fleur-de-lis. Born in the town of Memel, then belonging to East Prussia, the sculptor Arthur Waagen specialized in orientalist, genre and animal themes. He developed his career in France, and exhibited his works to the public from 1869. He is currently represented in museums such as the Sheffield Museum in England, as well as in numerous private collections. Orientalism should be understood as one of the currents that fed the European art of the nineteenth century, coinciding with the triumph of the capitalist bourgeoisie and imperialist countries, especially England and France. Within the romantic rejection of time itself, a fantastic and free flight in time and space is developed, towards antiquity and towards an Orient that extends from Spain to Russia, passing through North Africa and even reaching Japan. If Chinese art dominated the 18th century and Japanese art dazzled the Impressionists, the Near East will be the new discovery. Starting with the beautiful and unattainable odalisques of Ingres, with such pale skin and elegant gestures that always lead us to think of a captive Christian princess, never an Arab woman, the various pictorial schools will develop a whole new iconography that seeks to recreate in a fantastic way -since nothing is known about the Orient- a world forbidden to Westerners and full of attractions. Painters such as the French painters Bouguereau and Giraud recreated exotic scenes in great detail, seeking to serve as a window to the unknown through an almost photographic reproduction that endowed the narratives with verisimilitude and spurred the imagination of the European spectator.

He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1861 and 1887. 'Kabyle au retour de la chasse' was conceived in 1870 and also exhibited under the titles 'Chasseur arabe' and 'Cavalier aux chiens'. A cast of the model is in the Dahesh Museum, New York, whilst a cast with a variant fluted base is published by Payne (op. cit.). Unusually this example still retains the cold painted polychrome detailing to the hunter's cloak and hat.C. Payne, Animals in Bronze, Reference and Price Guide, Woodbridge, 1986, pp. 284-285; P.

Records show that he exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1861 and 1887 and is probably most famous for his dramatic Orientalist group 'Kabyle au Retour de la Chasse'. He worked mostly in spelter rather than bronze but his sculptures are of equal if not better quality than many of the bronzes produced by his contemporaries.
