About the Item
Edition of 12
A bronze sculpture of a nesting partridge, patinated in mottled brown with delicate specks of white, captures the quiet dignity and subtle charm of this iconic game bird. The sculptor depicts the partridge in a relaxed, grounded pose, nestled as if on a soft bed of leaves or underbrush, emphasising the rounded body and plump breast. The head is slightly raised, eyes alert yet calm, conveying a sense of vigilance and natural serenity.
The mottled brown patina evokes the earthy tones of woodland or meadow habitat, while the specks of white mimic the natural patterning of the plumage, adding depth and visual interest. Polished highlights catch the light across the body and wings, enhancing contours and accentuating the form’s softness and weight.
More than a simple representation, the sculpture celebrates the partridge’s resilience, nurturing instincts, and connection to the countryside. By capturing a moment of quiet repose, it invites contemplation of the subtle beauty and rhythms of wildlife. This bronze transforms a familiar game bird into a lasting homage to the enduring charm and understated elegance of nature.

Richard Smith b.1955
In his studio in his Gamekeepers cottage on a sprawling Hertfordshire estate, Richard Smith works undisturbed except for the occasional call of a pheasant. Whilst he daydreams of stalking deer and salmon fishing in the Scottish Highlands, his hands and eyes are busy at work on his latest masterpiece. From his 40 years as a successful painter of wildlife, painting for galleries such as Tyron gallery, London, Gladwell and Pattersons, London, Frost and Reed, London and Everard Reed Gallery, Johannesburg, coupled with his life surrounded by, and working with, game birds, it seemed a natural progression, with the support of Callaghan’s, to translate his passion and talent to the medium of bronze. From the elusive Snipe to the tentative Hare, the inquisitive Otter Pup to the majestic Macaw, his portfolio leaves no doubt as to the understanding of his subjects. From the beginning, when the delicate Robin perched upon a terracotta pot was born of his hands, Richards work has wowed wildlife enthusiasts and sportsmen alike. His bronze sculptures have been exhibited at the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair, the Olympia Art & Antiques Fair and across the State of Florida at the Naples and West Palm Beach Shows, and with his incredible attention to detail, Richard has breathed fresh, Hertfordshire, air into the medium winning him worldwide acclaim In 2013 Richard was invited to exhibit his Pintail Duck at the Society of Wildlife Artists, previously unassuming of his sculpting prowess, this accolade spurred him to create many further pieces in every shape and size and for every budget culminating in Richard being invited by the CLA to produce a perpetual trophy to present to the Best Shot of the Year at the annual game fair. His wish to keep the pieces in small editions and to personally oversee the sympathetic patination of every piece has been adhered to, as he remains as passionate about his work since his first exhibition in 1978.
