A bronze sculpture depicting a reclining Native American, cast in bronze with a brown and green patina, after Edouard Drouot. It represents a long-haired Native American, wearing a hairy loincloth and a feathered headdress, lying on the ground. His gaze appears distant and focused as he clasps his hand around his bow. The base is rendered as earth covered with vegetation and is signed E. DROUOT. The sculpture rests on a rectangular green marble plinth. This representation is a cast from a plaster model exhibited at the Salon in 1913.
Edouard Drouot (1859-1945) was a French sculptor, a student of Emile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1889 onwards, he exhibited sculptures at the Salon characterized by their movement and the expressiveness of their scenes. He particularly favored exotic figures of Native Americans and Asians.
