Victor Peter

Victor Peter was an artist whose documented activity spanned more than three decades, beginning around 1881 and continuing through 1913. Peter specialized in metalwork, with eight pieces of his sculptural output currently preserved in museum collections, establishing the artist's relevance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The works represented in institutional holdings include those housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Among the documented metalworks are studies of human and animal subjects, reflecting diverse facets of sculptural practice of the period. Specific known works include the portraits Pierre-Paul David d'Angers and Agathon Léonard, alongside the figural piece L'Age Heureux and the animal study A Pointer Bitch. A work simply titled Medallion is also documented.

Peter’s presence in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art demonstrates the museum-quality nature of his craftsmanship. Due to the timeframe of his career, many resources related to Victor Peter prints and original works are now entering the public domain. These pieces remain important references for scholarly study and are increasingly available as high-quality prints.
