This exceptional cold painted bronze captures a delightful and highly imaginative scene of two anthropomorphic foxes in a tub.
One fox stands upright, spoon in hand, as if lovingly feeding the other who reclines within the basin, arms up in anticipation.
Rich with character and Victorian-era whimsy, the figures are beautifully cast with intricate fur texture and vibrant hand-painted detailing in naturalistic tones.
The green and silver ‘wooden’ tub adds a rustic touch and cleverly complements the animated figures.
The design echoes the tradition of Vienna bronzes, known for their humorous and charming depictions of animals engaging in human activities.
This is a captivating and rare piece that would be a charming addition to any collection of animalier bronzes, anthropomorphic art, or unique decorative curios.
