"Bronze Subject "the Bell Of The Stag", Prosper Lecoutier"
Superb bronze animal sculpture representing a majestic stag in full rut. The animal, captured in a moment of tension and momentum, offers a striking scene of naturalism. The nervous modeling, the treatment of the fur and the energy contained in the posture testify to the talent of Prosper Lecourtier, a great animal sculptor of the late 19th century. A student of Emmanuel Frémiet, Lecourtier distinguished himself by his anatomical precision and his sense of staging. This subject, emblematic of his work, embodies the power and nobility of wild fauna. A very beautiful collector's piece, balanced and expressive, with a deep and well-preserved brown patina.
