This dynamic French bronze group, titled Centaur and Bear (or Centaure et Ours), is a vintage casting of the famous model by the renowned Animalier sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet. The sculpture depicts a mythological centaur in a violent struggle with a bear, rearing back to lift the beast in a composition celebrated for its anatomical precision and dramatic tension. The work features an integrated naturalistic oval base bearing the cast signature "E. FREMIET," and the underside reveals construction consistent with late 19th or early 20th-century casting techniques.
