H. Haseltine, Rome, 1869. Height 50 1/2 inches.

James Henry Haseltine, brother of the painter William Stanley Haseltine and uncle of the sculptor Herbert Haseltine, was a Philadelphia native who studied with French-born sculptor Joseph Bailly. Haseltine briefly toured France and Italy before serving two years in the American Civil War, then returned to Rome where he established a studio and lived the rest of his life. His sculptures of classical figures such as Minerva, Columbia and others honored American lives lost in the Civil War. The Union League of Philadelphia commissioned a monumental sculpture which Haseltine completed around 1865; it still stands at the club today. $20,000-30,000

352 After Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (French, 1827-1875) The Dancing Lesson terra cotta unsigned Height 77 inches. Property from the Collection of H. Whinery Oppice, Prescott, Arizona

Provenance: The Vanderbilt family collection at Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina

Note: This superlative example of French neoclassical sculpture was purchased in 1900 by George W. Vanderbilt at Samson in Paris. For several decades it was displayed in the gardens of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, but due to heavy winds and storms, the sculpture was knocked off its pedestal and required frequent restoration.

In 1978, after damage resulting from a particularly severe storm, the Biltmore estate sent the sculpture to Pietrasanta, Italy to be copied in white marble. Mr. Oppice, an artist and sculpture restorer, was tasked with reassembling the damaged sculpture and then overseeing reproduction of the sculpture by the studio of Fratelli Giannoni. The white marble figure is now permanently installed in its predecessor’s place. After the project was finished, Mr. Oppice asked the Vanderbilt Estate if he could keep the original statue, and was granted permission to do so. The statue remained in the marble carving studio in Italy until 2005 when it was shipped back to the United States.

A companion statue titled Bacante y Fauno Nino is on permanent display at the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
