Large bronze statue featuring a Hindu bird-catcher by the Belgian sculptor and medallist Auguste de Wever. He wears a ribbon and a drapery supporting a small sword. His necklace is adorned with an elephant-shaped medallion. Our bird-catcher testifies to the taste of the time for the exoticism and the fascination for the countries of the East and Far East. Antique edition cast in darkened patinated bronze. Signed "de Wever" on plinth and titled "L'oiseleur Indou" (Hindu bird-catcher).
Overall, the bronze is in very good condition, with a very small crack on the bow (see photos).
