About the Item
S’y jeter ou pas is a smoke-fired stoneware sculpture by the contemporary artist Cécile Raynal. For the artist, the wolf is the animal most similar to man and a very fascinating creature due to its representation in fables: both predator and victim.
This sculpture is a one-off piece, delivered with a certificate of authenticity. The dimensions specified are those of the installation with the smoked stoneware wolf and the driftwood board. Dimensions of the wolf sculpture: 90 H x 120 W x 50 D cm (35.4 H x 47.2 W x 19.7 D in). Dimensions of the driftwood board: 5 H x 160 L x 50 D cm (2.0 H x 63.0 L x 19.7 D in).
Over the past decade, the artist has undertaken residencies in secluded settings — prisons, retirement homes, hospitals, and even cargo ships — inviting their inhabitants to sit for her. These encounters, often rich and transformative, become spaces for exchange and reflection. As in all of Cécile Raynal’s work, art and life are inseparable: each portrait captures not only the sitter’s likeness, but also the thread of their life story, spanning all ages and professions. The recurring presence of animal figures introduces a shared language, revealing the subtle bonds between human and beast.
The photographs shown here were taken during À la table des Dames (At the Ladies’ Table), Cécile Raynal’s solo exhibition at Montivilliers Abbey in Normandy (2025).

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”
