Art Deco Animal Sculpture Of Does By Irénée Rochard

Sculpture of two does—one grazing while the other keeps watch—mounted on a black marble base and signed by Irénée Rochard. This animal sculptor (1906–1984) from Villefranche-sur-Saône came from a family of artists. He counted François Pompon and Edouard Sandoz—two other renowned animal sculptors—among his friends. He stated that he wished to "pay tribute to animals" and received numerous awards and honors throughout his career for his mastery of the craft. Major cities such as Paris and New York have acquired his sculptures.
