About the Item
This expressive Art Deco bronze sculpture by Irénée Rochard captures a tender moment: a mother elephant and her calf, lovingly connected in movement. The calf’s trunk gently touches the flank of the adult, a detail that adds warmth and emotional depth to the composition.
Finished in a deep black patina with contrasting beige tusks, the figures exude strength and grace. A polished black marble base grounds the composition and complements the streamlined elegance of the Art Deco aesthetic.
Irénée Rochard (1906–1984) was one of France’s leading animal sculptors of the 20th century. Known for her sensitivity to movement and form, his works capture the quiet nobility of the animal world — as this signed original so beautifully demonstrates.
