Cow - 20th Century Bronze Sculpture

Cow – Bronze Sculpture
After Louis Carvin
20th Century

This bronze sculpture depicts a cow in a calm and dignified stance. The modeling emphasizes the animal’s anatomical structure, with a powerful neck, balanced proportions, and careful attention to the legs and facial expression.

The composition reflects the tradition of early 20th-century French animal sculpture, rooted in naturalistic observation and solid craftsmanship. The work is based on a model by Louis Carvin, known for his refined representations of domestic and farm animals.

Cast in bronze with a nuanced brown patina, the sculpture rests on a rectangular veined marble base, enhancing both its stability and decorative presence.
