Offered by: SILLA

Description
PAUL EDOUARD DELABRIERRE
French, 1829-1912

Tigress at Rest

Sand-cast reddish-brown patinated bronze | Signed in base "E. DELABRIERRE"

Item # 211IGE17P

A very good sand cast example of a Tigress at Rest after the model by Paul Edouard Delabrierre, it is a sensitive and precious glimpse of the softer side of this powerful carnivore. She looks out towards an infinite endpoint lost in thought as the sun overhead bakes the hard ground she rests on. The model is finished in a reddish-brown surface patina and glows under layers of polished wax.

Measurements: 3 5/8" H x 3 3/4" D x 8 1/4" W

Condition Report:
Some relieving of patina around extreme edges of base, some elements with wear including edges of toes, tips of ears, tip of nose - this probably conveys more strongly in the images than in person due to scale. Cleaned, waxed and polished - a very fine presentation.
