Description
AFTER FRANÇOIS MARIE SUZANNE
19th Century
Standing figure of Benjamin Franklin holding a tricorn and a scroll. Finely cast with excellent detail and a nice patina. Similar examples can be found in the permanent collections of the Wadsworth Atheneum and the American Philosophical Society. Unsigned. On marble plinth.
Bronze, height 14.75". Total height 22.75".
This bronze is modeled after the 1793 terracotta figure by Suzanne that was shown in the Paris Salon the same year. Along with Robert Wood’s porcelain, the Suzanne figure is one of the only known full-length 18th Century depictions of Franklin. The work proved extremely popular and was reproduced in bronze in the 19th Century.
