Signed - E. Delabrierre - (1829 - 1912) was born in Paris, France on March 29th 1829. He was an important member of the Animalier school in late 19th century Paris. Delabrierre studied art under the painter Delestre but found his true calling was with the rendering of three-dimensional sculpture. He was greatly influenced by the combat works of the great master Antoine Louis Barye and many of Delabrierre's combat models show this violence of nature, which was very popular at that time. Many of the sculptures he executed often incorporated figures as well as animals. http://www.bronze-gallery.com/sculptors/artist.cfm?sculptorID=18

Too bad the bird is seperated from the base...anyone know restorer.

Found this in a small Baltimore Scrap yard six years ago bought it for 25 bucks. It weighs about 20 plus pounds.
