Description
This impressive large-scale bronze sculpture depicts a traditional French "Piqueur" (Hunt Master) in mid-hunt. Clad in ornate 18th-century period attire"”including a tricorne hat, frock coat with detailed frogging, and a wide buckled belt"”the figure is captured in a dynamic pose while sounding a large hunting horn (trompe de chasse).
The craftsmanship highlights the deep connection between the hunter and his hounds; he holds two leashed English Foxhounds or Bloodhounds at his side, rendered with excellent anatomical detail. The piece is finished in a rich, multi-toned verdigris and classic bronze patina, lending it an air of aged nobility. The entire sculpture is mounted on a substantial, tiered circular marble base, providing both stability and a sophisticated gallery-style presentation.
