This masterful depiction of a bull at a readied stance by sculptor Christophe Fratin is crafted out of bronze. The patinated bronze statue measures 13.5 inches tall and 13 inches long.
Signed “FRATIN” for noted French sculptor Christophe Fratin who worked in the animalier style, and was one of the earliest French sculptors to portray animals in bronze. Christopher Fratin (1801–1864) never signed his bronzes but instead used a stamp showing his last name in straight block letters.
