Alfred Dubucand (1828-1894)

Alfred Dubucand was born in Paris on November 25, 1828, He was one of Antoine – Louis Barye's prize-winning students.

HAS . Dubucand made his debut at the Salon of 1867, with a wax model of a dead pheasant.
He mainly modeled groups of animals, deer, dogs and horses.
He frequently experimented with chemical patinas on his bronzes, following the teaching of Antoine-Louis Barye, who pushed the boundaries with his dark green patinas.

Alfred Dubucand pays particular attention to the anatomical details and the accuracy of movement of his subjects.
He models his figures in wax or clay, then casts them in bronze using lost wax or sand.
Many of his Orientalist sculptures depict North African scenes depicting Arab tribes and nomads with horses or camels.

Alfred Dubucand, exhibited one last time at the Salon of 1883 , with his group of “Cavalier Et Femme Arabes A La Fontaine”.
