Cameroonian: a beautiful bronze sculpture with a brown patina, signed EA Leroy
Emile Leroy was a traveling artist: in 1923, he joined Jean Boucher's studio at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. from this training, he retained both a taste and a mastery of clay modeling and plaster casting.
In 1927, he received his first travel grant, which was followed by several other grants that took him across Spain, Africa, and Martinique.
In 1930, he left for Congo and Brazzaville. There, he obtained clay and worked on private commissions, allowing him to support himself (the grant was limited): he created numerous busts typical of local ethnic groups.
In 1932, on his way back to France, he stopped in Cameroon; He returned with the figure of our Cameroonian, whose plaster cast is now held in a private collection.
