Trained by Bourdelle to sculpt from live models, her work took on an anthropomorphic character after the war, with the human body remaining at the centre of her preoccupations, but from then on taking on an allegorical and fantastic character, in the image of this Sauterelle, whose tormented material takes on a dramatic character of existentialist essence. Charged with a primitive force that, as André Pieyre de Mandiargues points out, is ‘as much rock or stump as flayed man’, La Sauterelle is undoubtedly one of the artist's masterpieces, a sculpture that has evolved towards an unprecedented baroque and expressive naturalism. The Sauterelles are among Germaine Richier's most emblematic creations, the artist produced three different versions. La Sauterelle, petite (1944), La Sauterelle, moyenne (1945) and La Sauterelle grande (1955-1956) offer astonishing variations on the strangeness of this hybrid being, both woman and animal, and impose a remarkable questioning of form and balance through a play of juxtaposed squares, fostering the ambiguity of a work that is both frozen and in motion, ready to leap.

Hoffmans Antiques

Pair of Gustavian armchairs Ephraim Ståhl (Sweden, 1768-1820) Parcel gilt and bronzed wood Stockholm, circa 1810 H 85 x W 63 x D 50 cm Each armchair has a scrolled back and armrests decorated with carved laurels. The side rails are adorned with griffin heads and a palmette frieze; the fluted, tapered front legs with leaf-tip carvings. The sabre-shaped back legs end in lion's paw feet. The pair of armchairs is attributed to Ephraim Ståhl and made around 1805. Ephraim Ståhl a renowned Swedish craftsman who was a prominent furniture maker from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Known for the high quality of his work and as well his bold, innovative designs. Ståhl became a favorite of the Swedish Royal family, with his pieces featured in nearly every royal castle. This model however featuring griffins beneath the armrests, is one of Ståhl’s more unusual designs, rarely seen on the open market. It was likely a special commission, possibly by Duke Karl, the brother of Gustav III, who had a particular fondness for the griffin motif, incorporating it throughout the interiors of Rosersberg Castle.

Luigi Carrubba (Tunisia 1907-? Rome) Diana the Huntress, circa 1937 Bronze with black patina H 108 x L 100 x D 47 cm Signed 'Carrubba Luigi Roma Febbraio XV' Literature: E. Zorzi, Uno sguardo d'insieme alla XXI Biennale d'Arte di Venezia, in 'Le vie d'Italia turismo nazionale, movimento dei forestieri, prodotto italiano', XLIV, 6, 1938, p. 750 Luigi Carrubba, a Tunis-born sculptor who later settled in Rome, rose to prominence in the late 1930s, gaining recognition through major Italian art exhibitions. His works, including bas-reliefs and sculptures, were featured in events such as the Venice Biennale and regional exhibitions, where they were celebrated for their quality and scale. One of his notable sculptures, The Hunt, which may correspond to the work presented here (based on the similarity of subject and date) highlights Carrubba's mastery of dynamic forms and stylised bodies. This work exemplifies his skill in capturing movement and emotion through simple, refined lines. Carrubba continued to display works like Maternità and L’estate at the Venice Biennale, where he earned recognition amongst the emerging talents of the time.
