Prince Paolo Petrovich Troubetzkoy (Russian, 1866-1938), bronze
of a "Girl with Cat, 1931, is masterfully observed and deftly modeled,
with raw anatomical accuracy and profound psychological sensitivity.
Like other great sculptors of his time, Auguste Rodin and Rembrandt
Bugatti, Troubetzkoy captures natural human and animal traits in an
unforced, touching human-feline moment. In person, the viewer can see
the light skim across the heavily textured surface, evoking the
quickness and vitality of Post-Impressionism.
Signed Paul Troubetzkoy and dated 1931 (on the base), with foundry stamp of A. Valsuani
patinated bronze
height 13 3/4 in. (34.93 cm.); width 7 in. (17.78 cm.); depth 7 in. (17.78 cm.)
