Alexandre Lecomte c. 1832 - 1940

This bronze sculpture, created by Honoré Daumier around 1832-1940, portrays Alexandre Lecomte, a prominent figure in French theater. Daumier, renowned for his satirical caricatures and social commentary, captures Lecomte's likeness with a distinct intensity, emphasizing his aged features and the folds of his clothing. The rough texture of the bronze adds to the realism and emphasizes the subject's individuality. This bust serves as a testament to Daumier's skill as a sculptor and his keen observation of human character, reflecting his talent in capturing the essence of his subjects.
