(American, 1863-1937)

"Pan of Rohallion", first quarter 20th century

bronze
cast signature and date at back edge of sphere, marked "RBW" along back edge of self-base for the Roman Bronze Works Foundry, New York, New York, on a black marble plinth.
h. 11", w. 4-1/2", d. 4-1/2"

Notes: The large-scale original of this sculpture was commissioned by the American businessman Edward Dean Adams (1846-1931) for the garden fountain of his New Jersey estate, Rohallion. This startlingly elegant depiction of the Greek nature god was to prove immediately popular, and pantographic reductions (a technique made popular by the Frenchman Achille Collas working through the Barbedienne Foundry) were produced well into the 1920s.
