Лот 325 | A Rare Faience Figure Of Chernomor
Оценочная стоимость
£ 2 000 – 3 000
Modelled in a standing pose astride a base of stylised raging water, dressed in medieval chainmail, boots and helmet, carrying a sword in his right hand and shield in his left, apparently unmarked.
Sergey Orlov (1911–1971), a famous sculptor, painter, graphic artist and designer is most well-known for his monument to Yuriy Dolgorukiy in Moscow (1954). However, he also worked on a series of small porcelain figures from Russian fairy tales, of which the sculpture Chernomor is a rare and exquisite example.
Stylistically there are a lot of similarities between the sculpture and the monument, which are apparent in the plasticity, attention to detail, similarity of the faces and the conical form of the helmets. During Orlov’s work at the Konakovo factory (1947–1948) he created the porcelain composition The Tale of Tsar Saltan of which Chernomor and the clock with the sculpture of Tsarevich Guidon and the Swan Princess are the only pieces to ever come on the market.
