This large finely detailed and finished bronze of a Fallow Stag calling is a superb example of Isidore Bonheur's talent at creating animals of the wild. Although he is known mostly for his domestic cattle and sheep, his ability to capture the wild animals is well demonstrated by this bronze sculpture cast by his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol and marked with the Peyrol foundry stamp. It is finished in a beautiful rich brown patina.
