Lot Essay

Emile-Coriolan-Hippolyte Guillemin (d.1907) made his debut at the Salon in 1870, later winning an Honorable Mention for sculpture in 1897. Although his oeuvre included a wide range of subjects, he specialized in exotic themes and is renowned as a proponent of the Orientalist movement. This figure of Sita occasionally appears along side the pendant figure Janissaire, which was first exhibited at the Salon of 1887 (no. 4058).
