A charming bronze sculpture by Jules Moigniez of a family group of pheasants, with the cock and hen birds surrounded by five chicks, all standing on a naturalistic base with dark brown patination, all on a black marble base.
I have done extensive research on this figure and have been unable to find it in any reference books or on the internet, which I find strange as it is such a lovely group.
