Frederic Mares Deulovol Patinated Bronze Gazelle Doe

$45,000.00

Frederic Mares Deulovol (1893-1991) patinated bronze gazelle doe.

Base signed in the casting: F. Mares; with impressed foundry mark: Fundicion R. Vila / Valls (Tarragona).

Bronze base has been removed for photography and because we feel the doe stands more beautifully in a room without it, though it could be simply placed back on matching bronze base if desired.

This doe comes form a California estate where it was kept outdoors, partially covered. The resulting patina and verdigris is beautiful and reminiscent of a Pat Steir painting. The bronze is beautifully sculpted with incredible, life-like details, from the slight movement of the tail to the deep gaze of the eyes.

Measurements: 52" H x 46" W x 11.5" D
