Guillemin (1841-1907) was an acclaimed Parisian bronze sculptor of the Belle Époque known for his Orientalist aesthetics. He exhibited his bronzes frequently at the Paris Salon throughout his career and achieved abundant crirtical praise and success in his lifetime. This Biblical scene of Rebecca and Eliezer illustrates Guillemin's signature style with both figures dressed in an Orientalist fashion and rendered in lively form and intricate detail.
