Good size at 4.5 feet - 140 CM
The hares balance on their hind legs, one lifting the other in mid-movement while their long ears sweep dramatically upward, creating a sense of motion and playful energy
Of course being bronze this can live outside with no fear of rusting
The modelling is naturalistic, with well-defined musculature and expressive faces, and the surface finished in a rich dark brown patina
The composition is dynamic and sculptural, the animals rising vertically from an organically shaped base suggesting earth or ground
The subject of boxing hares comes from European folklore and medieval imagery, where hares were often shown behaving like humans dancing, boxing, or playing instruments symbolising fertility, mischief, and the arrival of spring
A striking decorative bronze ideal for a garden setting, terrace, or interior display
Offered in great shape
