This solid bronze piece is a masterful demonstration of late 20th-century French art foundry craftsmanship, utilizing the ancestral lost-wax technique to achieve remarkable precision in modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA Unique Chromatic Signature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe strength of this artwork lies in its acid patina, a complex process that Pierre Chenet elevated to his signature style. Far from uniform bronzes, this hare features a coat with shades of raw sienna, amber, and golden-bronze highlights. Under the light, the metal seems to come alive, revealing an organic depth that evokes the warmth of a living creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA Sculptural Presence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eBalancing naturalism and modernity, this piece plays with elongated lines and a striking verticality, enhanced by the animal's expressive, almost human gaze. This stylized silhouette offers great decorative versatility, fitting seamlessly into a sleek contemporary atmosphere as well as a more traditional setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eGALERIE POPINCOURT’s Review:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePierre Chenet's golden-bronze patina revealed in motion.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\"The Hare on the Lookout\" is undoubtedly the most iconic subject of Pierre Chenet's bestiary. I particularly appreciate the contrast between the finesse of the lost-wax craftsmanship—visible in the intricate details of the ears—and the modernity of the patina, which is the artist's signature. Unlike many of Chenet’s bronzes, which can be quite dark, this one possesses golden-bronze highlights that illuminate the moment a ray of sunlight touches it. It is a lively, highly graphic piece. This sculpture is in a remarkable state of preservation, with a perfectly crisp signature and foundry stamp, guaranteeing its collector's value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Private Collection - France\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e Late 20th century\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Chenet (Art Founder)\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid bronze with polychrome patina\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 14 cm | Depth: 8 cm\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Superb condition, bright and high-contrast original patina\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed \"P.
