Statue of a Donkey

1. Introduction of Statue of a Donkey

Evgeny Alexandrovich Lanceray (1848–1886) was a renowned 19th-century Russian sculptor, famous for his animal sculptures. He came from an artistic family of French descent, many of whose members were architects, painters, and sculptors, which profoundly influenced his artistic development. Lanceray developed a fascination for the forms of horses and livestock from a young age, and he accumulated rich observational material through his travels. His work is characterized by a realist style, often incorporating scenes of rural life, local customs, and animal behavior, thus portraying both the power of nature and human compassion. This Statue of a Donkey, titled The Algerian Donkey, is a typical example of Lanceray’s style.

Cast in bronze, the Donkey Yard Statue depicts a lean, calm donkey with its head slightly lowered, conveying a gentle expression. The surface texture of the Statue of a Donkey is meticulously detailed, clearly showing the skin texture and skeletal structure, faithfully capturing the donkey’s simple, natural appearance. Additional elements, such as a water bowl, add a sense of realism and everyday life. This realistic approach not only emphasizes the animal’s hard work and resilience but also reflects the cultural context of North Africa, specifically Algeria.
