PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE
In every way exceptional, this is a very fine work for serious collectors of the Animaliers.
A large and complex group, this sculpture is cast using the lost wax method in many individual parts that are then painstakingly chiseled and joined to create a fully developed naturalistic landscape. Originally exhibited in 1864 (Mackay, p. 78), the sculpture is known both as "Pheasant with Weasel" and "Cock Pheasant frightened by a Stoat" - the documented dimensions are 19 1/2" or 49 cm's (Mackay, p. 151). The level of detail in the work is remarkable in it's preciseness and totality - Moigniez captures this expression in a way that is authentic to their environment and true to the nature of each animal.
Condition Report:
Plant in rear has intentional wiggle. Tail tip flat, appears to have been cast as such. Original patina with traces of verdigris oxidization in crevices.
