PAUL TROUBETZKOY
(1866-1938)
BRONZE SCULPTURE OF ETTORE BUGATTI ON HORSEBACK, signed Paul Troubetzskoy and dated 1929 on the base. Bronze with dark brown patina. Foundry mark (front right): C VALSUANI CIRE PERDUE.
54x31x62 cm.
The Italian artist of Russian origin, Paul (Paolo) Troubetzkoy, was a friend of Carlo Bugatti's (1856-1940) and his family. The bronze shows his oldest son, Ettore Bugatti (1881-1947), founder of the famous Bugatti car brand, on his thoroughbred "Brouillard". The bronze bears witness to Troubetzkoy's talent as a portraitist as well as his skill and passion for depicting animals. Troubetzkoy may also have been a pioneer for the youngest son Carlos, Rembrandt Bugatti (1884-1916), as a sculptor of animal representations.
The photograph in the catalogue shows Troubetzkoy working on the model for the sculpture on offer here.
