Couple of ducks by Cain in bronze with nuanced brown patina 19th century M1563This couple of ducks made by Cain. One of the ducks catches a mouse, the other seems perched on a pot. The scene is funny, dynamic, executed with great precision. The patina is chocolate. The base is filled with plaster, it is probably a subject from the foundry workshop. It is of very good quality. Auguste Nicolas Cain (1822-1894) is a French animal sculptor. He began to exhibit at the Salon in 1846, during the 1840s and 1850s in addition to the sculpture of small animal figures, Cain also created decorative objects with animal motifs, such as matchboxes, goblets or candlesticks. Auguste Cain bases his works himself. His subjects often represent animals in their natural context, both for his statuettes and for the larger sculptures. For the state, we sign some traces of wear, a little verdigris and a small hole under the duck on the left. Everything remains in an acceptable and untouched general condition, which will be appreciated by 19th century bronze lovers. Our many photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the object. For the state thank you for detailing the photos. Feel free to zoom. The photos are an integral part of the description.
