Sculpture, Bronze eend op houtensokkel - 32 cm - Bronze

Decorative bronze sculpture of a duck, executed in a stylized, powerful form. The sculpture shows clear characteristics of a duck: a broad flat bill, short legs with webbed feet, and a compact build.

The sculpture features a beautiful green patina that gives the bronze depth and character. The statue stands on a solid wooden pedestal, crafted from a naturally cut piece of wood, which provides a nice contrast between the organic material and the metal.

The work is unsigned, but clearly crafted with skill. The style and finish are characteristic of decorative bronze garden and interior ornaments from the second half of the 20th century, such as those sold by specialized garden-ornament ateliers in the Netherlands.
