Lot Essay

Born in the Baltic port of Memel, East Prussia (now Klaipeda, Lithuania), Arthur Waagen pursued his career as a sculptor in Paris, where he was inspired by the fashion for the oriental. He was renowned for his fine and realistic modelling, and produced a series of groups with a North African flavour, exhibiting at the Salon from 1869 to 1887.
