A French animalier sculpture from circa 1935 depicting a mother bird feeding her chick on a stylised branch, carrying the artist's distinctive overlapping A-V monogram signature.
The bronze displays a rich, warm patina with subtle tonal variation and is mounted on a Portoro marble base, its dramatic black ground and golden veining setting off the modelling. The sculptor is documented in major reference works on animalier sculptors.
