About the Item

A beautiful bronze sculpture / vide poche, capturing a serene family moment in nature, depicting a pair of pheasants attentively watching over their chicks. The piece showcases fine detailing and a warm patina that enhances its lifelike quality. The sculpture is attributed to J. Hardy, possibly referencing James Hardy Jr. (1832–1889), a British artist renowned for his depictions of rural and sporting scenes, particularly game birds and countryside life . While primarily known for his paintings, Hardy's keen observation of wildlife is evident in this three-dimensional work, reflecting his deep appreciation for nature. In good overall condition, the sculpture exhibits minor wear to the patina, consistent with its age, which adds to its antique charm. This piece would make a captivating addition to any collection of wildlife art or bronze sculptures. Dimensions: 27 cm x 23.5 cm and 14 cm high (approximately 10.6 x 9.25 inches and 5.5 inches high) Free shipping worldwide
