This bronze sculpture by Louis-Albert Lefeuvre (1845- 1924), Les Fondeurs du Moyen Age (right), was one of the highlights of a single-owner collection sold by Alderfer Auction in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
The work, which was reputedly shown at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, sold for a mid-estimate $5000 (£3900) on August 23, plus 20% buyer’s premium. It had been purchased in Pennsylvania.
