Exhibited
In 1925, the Count de Grunne commissioned François Pompon to make a wooden sculpture of the ‘Sanglier’, based on the plaster model created in 1924. In 1927, the Count finally decided to replace it with our bronze model.
Only five examples of the ‘Sanglier’ were produced by Valsuani from 1926 to 1932, including this sculpture, which remained with the commissioner’s family since its creation.
The Count Eugène de Grunne was one of the most important collectors of François Pompon in the 1920s. Sotheby’s sold a ‘Grue couronnée au repos, aigrette lisse’ from the same collection on the 26th of November 2013.

Catalogue Note
En 1925, le comte de Grunne commande à François Pompon un modèle en bois du sanglier à partir d’un plâtre réalisé en 1924. Ce n’est qu’en 1927 qu’il décidera finalement de le remplacer par notre exemplaire en bronze.
Seules cinq éditions du sanglier ont été exécutées par Valsuani entre 1926 et 1932, dont cette sculpture, restée dans la famille du commanditaire depuis l’origine.
Le comte Eugène de Grunne fut l’un des principaux collectionneurs d’œuvres de François Pompon de l’époque. Sotheby’s a présenté le 26 novembre 2013 une Grue couronnée au repos, aigrette lisse provenant de la même collection.
