OULINE (Alexandre) - L’albatros (subject regularly and incorrectly in my opinion entitled La Mouette) - Bronze with brown and green nuanced patina about an albatross hovering above the waves. Chased cast iron, expressing a nice general movement, free bird on a free sea... Signature intaglio on the base. Great technical prowess to fix the bird on one side: the two elements are maintained by a corner as a rivet. Large size: amplitude of the wings 72 cm; marble height on the base 35 cm. Length of the base 51 cm. Length of the marble 55 cm. Nice overall condition of the bronze, a small chip on the marble. Old certified edition circa 1920. Alexandre Ouline, Belgian artist of Russian origin, he made from life a few copies of this Baudelairian subject by excellence. In addition to our copy which is the largest one referenced being known (72cm), there are others in 64 cm or 42 cm for the amplitude of the wings. Delivered by hand or free of carriage.
