Art Deco Bronze Bear Sculpture by Irenée Rochard (1930)
This elegant Art Deco bronze sculpture by renowned French artist Irénée Rochard (1906–1984) depicts a stylized bear in motion. Cast in the 1930s, the piece exemplifies Rochard’s mastery in capturing animal form and movement. Signed “Rochard”, the sculpture is made of solid bronze with a rich brown patina, highlighting its detailed and dynamic surface.
Measuring 13.5 cm high, 20.5 cm long, and 10 cm wide (5.3 x 8 x 3.9 in), this bronze bear sculpture is in very good condition. A timeless piece of French Art Deco design, it is perfect for collectors of 20th-century animalier sculpture.

Rochard’s works are featured in key reference books such as Animals in Bronze (Christopher Payne), Benezit Dictionary of Artists, and Jean-Charles Hachet’s Dictionnaire illustré des sculpteurs animaliers.
