- Lot Description
After Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)
Copy of Le Tub
A reproductive aftercast; bears stamped signature "degas" in the top of the bronze base, stamped "CIRE/PERDU/...HÉBRARD" on the side of the base with a second indistinct stamp "H..." to the left with the number "6" above, and stamped indistinctly, possibly "AIC," on the side of the base.
Bronze with a dark brown patina, height 8 3/8 in. (21.0 cm), base 16 1/6 x 15 1/2 in. (41.0 x 39.5 cm).
Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices, foundry stamp and other small stamps are indistinct.
Provenance: A private New England collection.
Literature: See also John Rewald, Degas, Works in Sculpture, A Complete Catalogue, London, 1944, no. XXVII, illustration of the wax original pl. 78; illustration of another cast pls. 79 and 80.
N.B. Far from the traditional views of women at their toilette, Degas presented a much more realistic and intimate view of a woman bathing. Le Tub was conceived by Degas circa 1886 and cast after his death at the request of his heirs in an edition of twenty-two, between 1919-1921. Casts were numbered from A-T plus two casts were reserved for the Degas heirs and the founder Hébrard (marked HER and HER.D). Due to the indistinct markings and softened details overall, it appears that the cast at hand was made from an extant bronze rather than from the artist's original clay or wax model.
Estimate $7,000-9,000
Beacuse of the variations in the base, the sizes given for those dimensions are approximate.
The stamp "AiC," which is not typical of Degas bronzes, might relate in some indirect way to the Art Institute of Chicago, which has several Hébrard bronzes in their collection, including "Le Tub."
