C.1860, French, Bronze Figural Clock, "A Bat Man" with drum sticks. Now when the artist made the original of this statue, we know he had not heard of Bat Man nor Spider Man, and yet the determination he depicts with the slick fitting cap, raised arms and poised wings, look very futuristic for their time. There is no title plaque on this bronze and we have named it in the title line simply because that is what it looks like. The well made striking French movement is complete and sound, and with a brass dial with individual porcelain cartouche numerals. Certain to capture the attention of art aficionados. Height 19 inches
