Catalogue Note
The distinctive pose of this portrait statuette raises questions as to the man's profession which could possibly be in the world of science. This is one of the few Troubetzkoy bronzes to show the subject in a professional attitude. It may well represent a conspicuous personality among the many international figures portrayed by the sculptor in 1926 which included Clemenceau, Octave Homberg, Bernard Shaw, Mussolini, and Umberto Giordano.
