French, 1824-1910
Nanny Goat and Kid
Patinated bronze | stamped in cast "FREMIET"
Item # 201KEW29P
A very good quality late 19th century sand-cast model of a nanny goat with her recumbent kid goat over a naturalistic base, the model exhibits a silky overall texture and beautifully preserved surface throughout. It is finished in an overall brown surface patina with hints of a reddish hue coming through. The base captures the deeply impressed stamped signature of Fremiet from the original mold.
