    Description

    This incredible bronze is one of the most action
    filled antique bronzes available.
    It features a french king, his attendant, and 3 dogs
    taking down a boar...
    The attendant has already fallen.  I love the way
    each of the four dogs have different expressions.
    One dog is chewing on the boars ear, one is jumping
    into action with a true snarl on his lips, There is one
    only seen on the backside that is mostly under the boar,
    and the last
    looks like it was mowed down along with the
    attendent.  You can see the attendant fighting for
    his life with the spear being directed at the boars
    mouth.
    Signed on the front right corner by the artist and
    entitled on the front middle aspect of the base...
    in french
    The bronze is in amazing good original antique
    condition!  I see nothing that I would consider damage.
    It has been in my collection for 20 years
    Large at approximately 18.5" tall, 21" wide and 9" deep.
    H : 60 x L : 55 x P : 26 cm
    It is super heavy, 58 pounds, one of the heaviest bronzes that I
    have owned.  It will
    require exceptional
    packing and
    insurance
