    Animal sculpture depicting a wolf devouring a Bizet sheep by René Paris (1881–1970)*.
    The model for this sculpture is well-known; a life-size version won the gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1920 (No. 3343) and was sold at Rouillac’s 34th Garden Party auction, coming from the collection of Master Hervé Poulain in Sologne.
    Our stone sculpture is carved directly from the block, likely from blue-gray sandstone.
    It has a beautiful patina from age, resulting from having spent several years outdoors; personally, I could easily imagine this sculpture on a massive table centerpiece, much like the table centerpieces by Oudry made of Sèvres porcelain.
    Approximate weight: 40 kg.
    Worldwide shipping available upon request.
    *An animal sculptor and student of Georges Gardet and Victor Peter, René Paris participated in the Salon des Artistes Français, of which he became a full member in 1906 and later served on the sculpture jury. He received an honorable mention in 1907 and was awarded medals in 1912, 1920 (gold medal), and 1944 (silver medal).
