Pyrenean bear sitting by Georges GUYOT (1885-1972) Sculpture in bronze with a nuanced black patina Signed " Guyot " on the base Cast by Martin Canal, without founder mark France circa 1935 Height 18,4 cm Width 17 cm Depth 18 cm Biography : Georges Lucien Guyot (1885-1973) known as Georges Guyot was a French animal artist.
