Антикварная статуэтка из бронзы «Lа chèvre»

An elegant antique figurine depicting a goat by French masters of the second half of the nineteenth century. The animal stands on a rectangular pedestal with an imitation of a relief landscape and carries two stylized baskets on its back, made in the technique of minting under the weaving. The level of detail deserves special attention: the naturalistic elements of wool, hooves and texture of the baskets indicate a high level of artistic and technical performance. Symbolically, the goat was often associated with fertility, rural idyll, and pastoral themes, which suggests that the piece could have decorated the study or living room of a country estate. A wonderful piece for collectors of bronze, nineteenth-century interior items and genre sculpture.
