Lot Essay

Born in Paris in 1841, Emile Guillemin made his début at the Salon in 1870 with a pair of Roman gladiators, later winning an Honourable Mention for sculpture in 1897. Although his oeuvre included a wide range of subjects, Guillemin specialised in exotic types and was renowned as a proponent of the Orientalist movement.
