Stående vildsvin 1910

"Stående vildsvin" (Standing Wild Boar) is a 1910 sculpture by Danish artist Vilhelm Bissen (1836-1913), currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The sculpture captures a wild boar in mid-stride, its powerful form rendered with intricate detail, emphasizing the animal's rugged musculature and bristling fur. The sculpture's realism showcases Bissen's skill in animal representation, a hallmark of his artistic career. This small-scale work is a fine example of Bissen's craftsmanship and his ability to imbue animal subjects with a sense of life and movement.
