Bronze “the Pheasant And The Weasel” By J. Moigniez – Late 19th Century

This bronze sculpture with a nuanced, golden patina, titled "The Pheasant and the Weasel," was created by J. Moigniez in the late 19th century. The sculpture depicts a majestic pheasant perched on a rock, with a small weasel at its feet. The meticulous details of the sculpture, such as the pheasant's feathers and the texture, are a testament to the artist's skill. The bronze's medallion patina adds depth and richness to the whole, elegantly highlighting each detail. J. Moigniez's signature, visible on the base, adds a touch of authenticity and value to this work of art. This piece is an example of 19th century animal art.
