Garden Sculpture In Patinated Cement Representing A Deer, Mid-20th Century

A rare animal sculpture in molded cement depicting a young buck in an upright position, with a haughty, expressive stance.
Designed to adorn a garden or terrace, this large-scale piece will captivate you with its poetic rendering and old-fashioned charm.
The weathered cement offers subtle shades of gray, green and pink.

The naturalistic details of the wood and head, slightly stylized, give the piece a naïve yet elegant character.
The rectangular base retains traces of an earlier painting.

This sculpture follows in the tradition of garden ornaments from the 1930s-1950s, when molded cement was frequently used to create animals or decorative figures for private parks, terraces or orangeries
