Auguste-nicolas Caïn (1822-1894). Pair Of Nesting Pheasants.

This bronze sculpture was created by Auguste-Nicolas Cain (1822-1894), a renowned 19th-century French animal sculptor. Cain was known for his detailed and naturalistic depictions of animals, having studied under celebrated sculptors such as François Rude and Pierre-Jules Mêne. Bronze animal sculptures were particularly prized during the Belle Époque, reflecting the growing interest in natural history and animal art. These pieces are highly sought after by collectors of animal art and enthusiasts of 19th-century bronze sculpture for their artistic quality, technical execution, and historical value. Cain's works are especially valued for their striking realism and dynamic composition. This is an early edition cast with a nuanced brown patina.
