The regula sculpture by Henri Lechesne represents an elegant and dynamic composition of two seagulls in flight above a wave.
The wings of these birds are fully extended upwards as if taking off from the surface of the water.
The wave is shaped to give the impression of movement, which reinforces the feeling of dynamism of the piece.
The base of this proof is oval in shape and includes the artist's signature as well as the “French Manufacturing” hallmark.
For naturalists and art collectors.
Henri Lechesne (1811-1888) is a French sculptor known for his mastery of the animal world which he brilliantly transcribes in his works.
