Golden pheasant. Polychrome bronze. Vienna, 19th century. Polychrome bronze figure showing a perched male golden pheasant. A bird native to Asia, it was already known in the West in the 18th century (it appears in the tenth edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae) and appreciated for the bright colors of the male's plumage. In the 19th century, bronze centerpieces and decorative figures of great originality and quality were made in Vienna (and in other European centers), usually with an exotic touch provided by anthropomorphic or animal motifs. Weight: 991 grams.
