ALFRED DUBUCAND
French, 1828-1894
"Standing Stag"
Medium brown patina on sand-cast bronze | Signed in cast "A. Dubucand"
Item # 202GPF12P
A beautifully textured model of Standing Stag by Alfred Dubucand, the sculpture features a wonderful all-over silky surface with fine overall texture captured directly from the mold with little cold-tooling evident. Individual hairs in the animal's fur are carefully defined and the antlers are developed with intricate hammering that beautifully simulates reality in miniature. It is finished in a nuanced surface patina of overall medium-brown and hints of black worn through to golden and coppery undertones. It is signed in the base in his typical script "A. Dubucand". The present example of Standing Stag is an adaption Dubucand made in light of the success of his group Stag and Hind (1870), separating both figures and turning them into individual sculptures.
