Note du spécialiste

Pierre Tourgueneff (1854-1912) was born to Russian parents in Paris where he studied under the Animalier sculptor Emmanuel Fremiet. Chiefly known for equestrian and military subjects he exhibited at the Salon between 1880 and 1911, he was awarded a 'Grand Prix' at the Exposition Universelle in 1889 and received the Légion d'Honneur in 1903. A larger cast of this model sold at Christie's, London, 1 December 2009, lot 145 (£17,500).
