FRANCE. Python, (1936).
52x75mm bronze, by Rene Thenot. Uniface. Thenot gained great attention for his series of 10 plaquettes depicting African animals in lively and interesting compositions. They are always in bronze, struck at the Paris mint. Thenot soon became the chief engraver at the Chilean national mint, retiring in 1958. His series places him in the conversation with Barye and Victor Peter as a great animalier. LOVELY EXTREMELY FINE.
