Richard Fath (1900-1952) - Bronze Cocker Spaniel Bas-relief - Signed

Elegant bronze bas-relief depicting a Cocker Spaniel in a calm, attentive attitude, treated with a remarkable sense of naturalistic observation.

The animal is depicted in profile, standing in a noble posture highlighting the musculature, suppleness of the body as well as the characteristic texture of its coat and long, silky ears. The precise, lively modelling testifies to a fine mastery of the animal subject.

The work bears the signature of Richard Fath (1900-1952), a French artist appreciated for his animal representations imbued with realism and sensitivity.

Presented on its original wooden stand, this elegant carved panel has a strong decorative presence and will naturally find its place in a collection of animal bronzes, a classic interior or a cabinet of curiosities.
