Bronze Sculpture – Red Stags – J.e. Masson & Société Des Bronzes De Paris

Bronze sculpture depicting a red deer stag and a doe in a naturalistic landscape. This work was created by the sculptor Jules Edmond Masson and cast by the Société des Bronzes de Paris.

The sculpture depicts a majestic red deer, with imposing antlers, portrayed in a vigilant and attentive pose. At its feet stands a doe grazing, forming with it a harmonious and natural composition.

The piece is fully in keeping with the 19th-century French tradition of animal sculpture, characterized by a focus on anatomical precision, movement, and meticulous rendering of details.

The bronze features a superb warm patina, with deep, golden-brown hues that elegantly highlight the animals’ musculature as well as the texture and relief of their coats.

The ensemble rests on a heavy bronze base featuring a rocky motif, reinforcing the naturalistic and monumental character of the composition.
