René Letourneur (1898–1990) - Lot 185
René Letourneur (1898–1990) The Woman Reading circa 1970 Studio plaster cast Signed “LETOURNEUR” on the underside H. 25 x W. 14 x D. 23 cm The woman reading is a recurring theme in René Letourneur’s work. This subject appears in numerous preparatory drawings. In 1970, “The Reader” was proposed as part of a sun-shaped sculpture for the Point du Jour school complex in Alençon, but this project was not selected (see lots 91 and 92 of the sale of the René Letourneur studio collection on April 4, 2025). It was finally realized in 1971 for his last commission, intended for the Jean Jaurès school complex in Poissy, a directly carved stone sculpture.
