A large bronze effect plaster lion statue by Antoine Felix Boure

A very substantial plaster cast of Bouré’s classic bronze lion.

This beautiful plaster piece is wonderfully modelled: an imposing piece for any setting.

It has good age and is likely 19th century.

Bronzed paint effect to reflect the original. Stamped '325' to the rear of the base.

This impressively-scaled and arresting bronze-patinated plaster sculpture study of a crouching and snarling lion, cast after the bronze original.

Bouré was a Belgian sculptor (1831-1883) best known for his monumental lions , his sculptures were considered remarkable for their combination of grace and power. His reputation rests largely on his large sculptural lions, characterised by their athletic musculature and majestic air.

A highly decorative and powerful image of good scale.
