Bronze Sculpture “motherhood” Signed Charles Paillet

This bronze by Charles Paillet tenderly depicts a scene of canine maternity. Lying peacefully, a terrier-type dog watches over her puppies, who eagerly suckle. The sculpture's realism demonstrates the artist's great talent, both in the fineness of the coat and the animals' natural attitudes. The mother's expressive gaze and balanced composition convey a scene full of gentleness and life.
The signature "CH. PAILLET" is visible on the base of the bronze, attesting to the work's authenticity.
