Brown patina bronze sculpture of a stag after its moult. It rests on a terrace forming a pedestal, decorated with tree stumps, oak leaves and acorns. The animal's coat is realistically rendered and its face is highly expressive. This animal bronze is signed lower left "Ch. Paillet". Circa: 1910
Charles Paillet (1871-1937)
Charles Paillet, born in Moulins-Engilbert, was a pupil of naturalist Georges Gardet. He established his workshop in Arcueil. This sculptor, who specialized in animal bronzes as well as commemorative monuments built after the First World War, is known for his emotionally charged works depicting dogs and bears. His masterpiece "Les Deux Amis" (The Two Friends), showing a huge Irish greyhound gazing tenderly at a young Siamese cat, is a fine lesson in tolerance, so dear to the sculptor.
