Antique Framed Bronze Casting on Slate

This Antique Framed Bronze Casting on Slate was one of my father's favorite pieces and hung in a place of honor over my parents' fireplace in their library. Depicted is a Pheasant Hunter behind a German Shorthaired Pointer and Llewellin Setter on point. The natural fieldstone of my parents' library fireplace provided a dramatic and fitting contrast for this piece which measures thirty-six and a half inches wide by twenty-four and a quarter inches high. The intricate detail of the casting is life-like and stunning ~ from the training whistle hanging around the hunter's neck to the elastic shotgun shell holders on his hunting vest ~ and The Lady of the House is still looking for a similar place of honor for it now in our own home.
