Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this Animalier Bronze Rhinoceros Sculpture to the 1860s.
Just under 6ins (15cms) wide.
Although unsigned, this is almost certainly a French animalier bronze, of the mid-19th century period. Indeed earlier examples of this genre usually incorporated rectangular bases as in this example. The detail of the modelling and casting is reminiscent of sculptors such as Antoine Louis BARYE or perhaps Mêne or Fratin.
