The Boar Hunt w/ 4 Hunting Dogs Th. Gechter (French, 1796-1844) 19th Century

Description

This incredible bronze is one of the most action
filled antique bronzes available.
It features a french king, his attendant, and 3 dogs
taking down a boar...
The attendant has already fallen.  I love the way
each of the four dogs have different expressions.
One dog is chewing on the boars ear, one is jumping
into action with a true snarl on his lips, There is one
only seen on the backside that is mostly under the boar,
and the last
looks like it was mowed down along with the
attendent.  You can see the attendant fighting for
his life with the spear being directed at the boars
mouth.
Signed on the front right corner by the artist and
entitled on the front middle aspect of the base...
in french
The bronze is in amazing good original antique
condition!  I see nothing that I would consider damage.
It has been in my collection for 20 years
Large at approximately 18.5" tall, 21" wide and 9" deep.
H : 60 x L : 55 x P : 26 cm
It is super heavy, 58 pounds, one of the heaviest bronzes that I
have owned.  It will
require exceptional
packing and
insurance
