A Whimsical Animalistic Bronze
About the Item
This French bronze group conceived as a pair of animals dressed as people playing cards exhibits many subtle details and a dramatic satirical story. The fox's nature clever and crafty member is playing cards and is obviously proud of his hand well laid out on a barrel while holding open his coat to show he has nothing to hide. The monkey looking much like rouge is tensely trying to hide the ace of spades behind his back to eventually win the hand from the fox. All set among peasant-style trappings of labor and drinking raised up on a rococo base. Each animal and element is cast separately and hand chased and chiseled after the molding then set on the base. The patina is a rich brown gold with nice rub throughs and wears to certain areas giving the piece a beautiful surface.
