Bronze Sculpture "the Pheasant Family" – Clovis Masson
Artist: Clovis Edmond Masson
A monumental and exquisitely detailed sculpture of a family of pheasants, created by the renowned French master of animal sculpture, Clovis Edmond Masson. The work depicts a proud rooster pheasant, a hen, and their chicks perched on a natural rocky base. This piece is a magnificent example of the 19th-century animal sculpture movement. The dynamic poses of the birds and the fine, meticulous rendering of their plumage testify to exceptional skill. The bronze boasts a rich and nuanced patina, blending warm tones of gold, brown, and green, giving the whole a lifelike and natural appearance.
The sculpture bears the LN Paris JL foundry mark.
Masson was a student of the great Antoine-Louis Barye and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon. His works are recognized and collected worldwide for their realism and artistry. This piece, by virtue of its size and the finesse of its details (particularly the chicks), is a rare object.
