"La Bergère" by Mednat: Art Deco Regule and Bisque Porcelain Statue, Early 20th Century
An ode to rural life and the shepherding profession, blending idealism and serenity.
Crafted in the early 20th century during the Art Deco period (1920–1939), this sculpture in régul and biscuit porcelain with a brown patina is a work by the artist Mednat, signed on the side of the base.
Mednat, a French sculptor born in 1890 and who died in 1940, is known for his works inspired by chryselephantine, featuring a combination of golden patina, bronze, and ivory-colored skin tones, lending his subjects a high degree of realism.
Dating from the Art Deco period, this shepherdess does not embody a “pure” Art Deco aesthetic, although the naturalistic theme (the goat, pastoral life) and geometric elements (the square base, the drapery of the shepherdess, her tambourine) are present. Above all, it is a poetic transition from 19th-century Neoclassicism to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of the early 20th century.
Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
