Catalogue note
A rare and superb cold painted bronze sculpture by Édouard Guy Compte du Passage (1872-1925)
The sculpture is cast in bronze depicting a kingfisher sitting in reeds as though he were watching the water for fish. It is raised on the original black navette shaped marble base and is signed E Guy on the bronze.
Edouard Guy Compte du Passage is well known for his sculptures of animals and was compared favourably to Antoine-Louis Barye (1796-1875)
However, towards the end of his life he embraced the Art Deco movement.
This piece is possibly his only Art Deco bronze which he produced before he died in 1925.
It is of a good size and makes a striking impression. Circa 1920-1925
