Description of the artwork

This sculpture by François-Xavier Lalanne can be considered as a work of an extraordinary rarity in all of this artist's creation. In fact, to our knowledge, this is the only sculpture of a substantial volume that he made in silver. If we know his tableware or his small silver objects, it is clear that all the large sculptures that we meet are in bronze and not in silver.

This particularity gives our mother duck a preciousness that distinguishes it from all other pieces
