MARIUS JOSEPH SAIN

French

1877-1961

HARMONIE (HARMONY)


signed: M. Sain and entitled: HARMONIE

white marble

82cm., 32¼in.

Marius Joseph Sain was born in Avignon in 1877. He studied under the sculptors Injalbert, Thomas and Charpentier, before debuting at the salon in 1903. His work can be found in the collections of the musée d'Avignon and the Petit Palais in Paris.


With its sensuous celebration of the female form, this finely carved marble is reminiscent of the celebrated Bello Matinado by Sain's master, Charpentier.
