Cale-porte en fonte polychrome, personnage au bonnet et son chien

Nez crochu, menton en galoche, joues fardées de rouge, le personnage sourit sous un haut bonnet dont la pointe perlée retombe comme une crête. Assis, les jambes croisées, le dos bossu, il porte une collerette blanche et tient un bâton recourbé. À ses pieds, un petit chien coiffé d'un chapeau et paré d'une fraise complète la scène. La peinture, verte, rouge, crème et noire, s'use sur les saillies et laisse paraître la fonte. Le tout repose sur une base chantournée à ressauts.

Les cale-portes conçus comme tels apparaissent vers 1775. Les premiers sont en fonte peinte, souvent façonnés en figures célèbres ou en animaux, et leur production s'amplifie au XIXe siècle, notamment en Angleterre et en France, où les fabricants proposent personnages et animaux. La fonte, lourde et stable, convient à un objet dont l'office est de retenir une porte. La galerie date celui-ci de la fin du XIXe siècle sans nommer le sujet, la fonderie ni le pays, et sans dire si la polychromie est d'origine.

Read in English

Hooked nose, jutting chin, cheeks rouged red, the figure grins beneath a tall cap whose beaded point curls over like a crest. Seated with legs crossed and a hunched back, he wears a white ruff and holds a curved stick. At his feet a small dog in a hat and ruff completes the scene. The paint, green, red, cream and black, wears away on the high points and lets the iron show through. The whole stands on a shaped, stepped base.

Doorstops made as such appeared around 1775. The first were in painted cast iron, often shaped as famous figures or animals, and production grew in the nineteenth century, notably in England and France, where makers offered characters and animals. Cast iron, heavy and stable, suits an object whose task is to hold a door. The gallery dates this one to the late nineteenth century without naming the subject, the foundry or the country, and without saying whether the polychromy is original.
