About the Item

Edition of 12 'Cockerel' by Richard Smith. A patinated bronze sculpture of a cockerel celebrates the proud and spirited presence of one of the most enduring symbols in art and folklore. Standing tall with chest thrust forward and crest raised, the bird radiates vitality and authority. The sculptor captures the cockerel mid-stride, its strong legs firmly planted while its tail feathers sweep upward in an extravagant arc, balancing strength with decorative flourish. Every detail—from the serrated comb to the layered plumage—is carefully modeled, revealing both texture and rhythm in the form.The patina enriches the sculpture, with deep bronzed browns layered against hints of verdigris and subtle golden highlights. These tones echo the natural iridescence of a rooster’s plumage while also giving the bronze a timeless, weathered character. As light plays across the surface, the cockerel seems to shift between bold presence and intricate detail, much like the real bird strutting in a farmyard at dawn. Symbolically, the cockerel represents vigilance, pride, and renewal—heralding each new day with its unmistakable call. This sculpture embodies that spirit, transforming a familiar creature into a monument of resilience and vitality. As an indoor display or a garden center piece, the bronze cockerel commands attention, inviting admiration for both craftsmanship and meaning.

19th Century Animalier Bronze Sculpture "Standing Cockerel" by Paul Comolera

By Paul Comolera

Located in London, GB

A very fine large late 19th Century Animalier gilt bronze study of a standing cockerel with his chest pushed out in a proud pose as he crows to the eraly morning sunshine, the bronze surface with excellent deep golden colour and fine hand finished detail, signed P.Comolera ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 31 cm Width: 20 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1900 Materials: Bronze SKU: 9324 ABOUT Paul Comolera (French, 1818 ~ 1897) Comolera was born in Paris, France. A very fine sculptor known mainly for his modelling of birds but he also produced some other animal figures as well as portrait busts. Comolera was a student of the early sculptor Francois Rude and he was the teacher of Jules Moigniez, one of the more important sculptors of the Animalier school. There is a distinct similarity in the detail, construction, form, and finish of the works of Comolera and his student Moigniez although Comolera’s birds are considered to be more in the naturalistic style as opposed to the romantic style of his pupil. Paul Comolera made his debut at the Salon in 1846 with a group called Golden Pheasants of China and continued to exhibit there until his death in 1897. Comolera’s bronzes...
