Bronze "the Peasant Trapping The Bird Under His Hat", China - Early 20th Century

Charming Bronze with dark brown patina, representing a peasant trying to capture a bird with the help of his hat. The man with Asian features is in a squatting position, one leg stretched backwards, as if suddenly stretching to trap the bird. The man wears the satisfied face of the hunter about to seize his prey. The artist has affixed his stamp on the terrace, in ideogram. This bronze rests on a mahogany base called "Bois de Satin", nicely shaped. We will particularly appreciate the impression of movement emerging from the subject, produced with finesse. ******** Period: Early 20th century Excellent condition.
