About the Item
A delightful mid-20th century English bronze sculpture depicting a reclining pig, rendered with a balance of naturalistic detail and stylized charm. The pig is shown lying comfortably on its belly, with a slightly raised head and gently folded legs, conveying an expression of ease and contentment. The sculptor has given careful attention to the smooth curvature of the body, the alert yet relaxed ears, and the rounded contours of the snout, producing a form that feels both tactile and lifelike.
The surface is finished in a deep brown patina, subtly variegated to catch the light across the shoulders, back, and facial features, highlighting the workmanship. Substantial in size and weight, the sculpture has a pleasing solidity that makes it suitable for display on the floor, atop a low console, or as a conversation piece in a rustic or country-inspired setting. Equally at home in a farmhouse kitchen, a library with sporting and animal-themed décor, or as a whimsical accent in a garden room, this midcentury English bronze pig brings warmth, humor, and character to any interior.
