Bronze Hunt Scene





Handsome bronze depicting a Scottish hunt scene.  The beautifully composed scene shows a Scottish hunter in traditional garb who is holding the reigns of his horse and appears to be calling his hound.  The hound is busy examining the day's hunt which is slung over the saddle of the horse.  All the figures, the Scotsman, the horse, the hound and the stag are very finely detailed.  13" h., 15" l., 8" w.  European, mid-19th c.  SOLD
