"Gilt Bronze Proof - Eagle And Vulture Fighting Over Prey - Christophe Fratin"

Gilded animal bronze Eagle and vulture fighting over prey Signed on the base FRATIN Fratin, a romantic sculptor, often illustrated struggle and predation in his expressive works. He exhibited several pieces on this theme at the Salon of 1835, such as Vulture Devouring a Gazelle or Tiger Overcoming a Young Camel. In 1839, he presented his group Eagle and Vulture Fighting Over Prey, which can be seen today in the grounds of Babelsberg Castle. A smaller version of this work appears in the catalog of his studio sale in 1850 (no. 190). Other photos on request
