Important Bronze subject with golden patina representing a tiger on the march, signed on the terrace by the French sculptor Christophe FRATIN (1801/1864), who was one of the first to practice the animal style, very trendy in the middle of the 19th century. This former student of Géricault, son of a taxidermist, is known for the finesse and realism of his work. The artist chose the largest of the felines as his model, which seems to be wandering peacefully. We can guess its striped coat, suggested by the artist, and the strength of its powerful musculature. The terrace, also in bronze, subtly depicts the vegetation on which he is walking.
With its striking realism, this work will seduce lovers of animal art, and will mark your decoration with its presence.
