Seated Elk; Fallen Stag
modeled 1820s
golden yellow bronze with a dark brown patina on a black marble socle
(18th and 19th Centuries )
(18th and 19th Centuries )
A stag, driven to exhaustion, collapses. Although Barye usually had his sculptures edited, or cast, in multiples, this statuette appears to be unique. It has been treated as a pair and mounted on a similar, marble base with Walters 27.32.
