Garden Figure (Rabbit) c. 1939

"Garden Figure (Rabbit)" is a cast iron sculpture created by Maurice Van Felix in 1939. The sculpture depicts a stylized rabbit in a sitting position, with long ears, a rounded body, and short legs. The simple, yet striking design is characteristic of Van Felix's approach to sculpture, capturing the essence of the animal in a minimalist form. The sculpture's surface is textured, giving it a tactile quality, and the artist's signature can be seen at the base. While the specific location of this sculpture is unknown, it is likely that it was originally intended for placement in a garden or outdoor setting.
