Véronique Fromanger has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Bugatti’s incredible ability to naturally render the material to his vision is evident when looking at the deer’s form, balance and composition in Jeune cerf se grattant le cou. Created in 1906, the sculpture depicts a deer with one leg outstretched, scratching its neck. In contrast to the reductive process of carving, Bugatti’s choice to use a soft material, plastilina, that yields to the touch meant he was able to capture the deer in its entirety. Its pose which is sleek and monumental, accurate yet devoid of erroneous anatomical detail, lends the animal a character sympathetic to its distinctive personality.
