This bronze sculpture with a nuanced, gold patina, entitled “The Pheasant and the Weasel”, was made by J. Moigniez at the end of the 19th century. The sculpture represents a majestic pheasant perched on a rock, with a small weasel at its feet. The meticulous details of the sculpture, such as the pheasant’s feathers and the texture, are a testament to the artist’s skill. The bronze’s medal patina adds depth and richness to the whole, elegantly highlighting each detail. J. Moigniez’s signature, visible on the terrace, adds a touch of authenticity and value to this work of art. This piece is an example of 19th century animal art. Jules Moigniez (1835-1894): A student of Paul Comoléra, he exhibited for the first time at the Universal Exhibition of 1855 and received an honorable mention at the Salon of 1859. He was present at the Universal Exhibition of 1878. Ill for several years, he committed suicide on May 29, 1894 in Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, where he is buried.
