Small porcelain biscuit sculpture created by the sculptor Raymond Léon Rivoire around 1925 for the Manufacture de Sèvres.
Engraved below the piece: Sèvres mark, year of manufacture, craftsman's initials and artist's signature.
The sculpture is entirely handmade by our craftsmen in the workshops of the Manufacture. Nuances and variations may appear from one piece to another, making each one almost unique.
Borrowing their contours from figures of Classical Greece, Les Baigneurs by Raymond Léon Rivoire (1884–1966), with their stylised and modern forms, belong to the sculptor’s Art Deco production. The two sculptures, also produced in silvered metal and bronze, originally served as bookends.
A student of Jean-Antoine Injalbert at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Rivoire began exhibiting in 1905 at the Salon des Artistes Français. He achieved success and received major commissions in the 1930s, notably creating a bronze Diana with Greyhound for the grand salon of the ocean liner Atlantique, as well as a bronze Neptune drawn by a sea horse for the liner Normandie.
