Bronze sculpture of a lion mounted on green marble base. Artist signature is L. Riche (Louis Riche), signed and foundry mark on back of sculpture. 21" tall. Base measures 22" x 10".
Louis Riche (1877 - 1949) was born in Paris France on May 29th 1877. Louis studied under Georges Gardet (1863-1939). His first exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris was in 1896 at the age of nineteen. Riche sculpted many animal subjects but his favorite models were German Shepherd Dogs at which he is considered the Master at reproducing. He continued exhibiting at the Paris Salon and except for the interruptions of both World Wars he continued to create his artistic subjects. He worked mostly with the Thiebault Freres foundry for the casting of his models but it is noted that some of his sculptures of lions were cast in silver by Risler and Carre. Many of his sculptures are signed L. Riche.
