A bronze sculpture with a brown patina depicting a stag after its molt. It rests on a terrace forming a base, undulating with tree stumps and scattered with oak leaves and acorns. The animal's coat is rendered realistically, and its face is very expressive. This bronze animal sculpture is signed lower left "Ch. Paillet". Circa: 1910
Charles Paillet (1871-1937)
Charles Paillet, born in Moulins-Engilbert, was a student of the naturalist Georges Gardet. He established his studio in Arcueil. This sculptor, specializing in bronze animal sculptures as well as commemorative monuments built after the First World War, is known for his emotionally charged works depicting dogs and bears. His masterpiece, "The Two Friends," which shows a large Irish wolfhound gazing tenderly at a young Siamese cat, offers a beautiful lesson in tolerance, a value dear to the sculptor.
