A finely cast French bronze sculpture of a wild boar, dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. The generous scale and dynamic modeling captures the power and texture of the animal’s form, from the tension in its muscular build to the subtle expression in its snout and eyes. The surface displays a beautifully nuanced patina, with rich brown tones that accentuate the quality of the chiseling and casting.
The piece is signed with the initials “WG,” suggesting an accomplished but lesser-known sculptor of the period. It is exceptionally heavy for its size, weighing approximately 7.2 kg (15 lb 14 oz), and displays superb workmanship throughout. A rare and evocative example of French animalier bronze sculpture. It is more beautiful in real life!
