Georges-Lucien Guyot (1885-1973) - Statue

Bronze sculpture of a reclining German Shepherd by Georges-Lucien Guyot (1885–1973), one of the leading French animal sculptors of the 20th century. The dog lies stretched out on a natural rock base, its head lowered between its front paws, ears pricked and gaze watchfully fixed ahead. Guyot rendered the sculpture with a lively, free-flowing style: the ribs show beneath the skin, the muscles of the shoulders and hind legs are powerfully modelled, and the collar is visible beneath the coat. An early model by Guyot, known as "Chien de berger allemand au repos" (c. 1920). Beautiful brown patina with green and ochre tones. Signed in the casting on the base: "G.L. Guyot". "RH" incised on the inside. Dimensions: length 55 cm, height 19 cm, depth 14 cm Date: model c. 1920, casting date unknown Condition: good, consistent with age. Beautiful original patina with light wear to the highest points. A few small dark spots in the patina, including beneath the signature and on the flank. Light green oxidation in the recesses. No cracks or repairs observed. See photos for a complete view. Will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
