COQ DORMANT 1923

François Pompon's "COQ DORMANT" (1923) is a bronze sculpture of a rooster in a sleeping position. The sleek, simplified form of the rooster is characteristic of Pompon's artistic style, which favored a minimalist approach to animal representation. The sculpture's smooth, polished surface creates a sense of elegance and refinement, highlighting the rooster's graceful posture. Pompon's work is known for its masterful use of light and shadow, which adds depth and dimension to the sculpture's form. The rooster's powerful presence and elegant form make this a truly memorable work of art.
