Beautiful refined bronze-colored portrait of Jules Weyns. No patina has been applied after bronze casting, the color is that of the bronze (after 100 years: natural patina). Darker in photo, lighter in color in reality.
He was a versatile sculptor, made portraits in bronze, war monuments, reliefs.
His craftsmanship is clearly visible in the portrait of a man in ivory, placed in a bronze contour. This work was auctioned for 10,000 euros at the MJV Soudant auction (see photo).
Two of his plaques were also auctioned at Christie's in Paris for 3,200 euros.
And the Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp has the statue of him, soft sleep.
