Squirrel Statuette c. 1937

Yolande Delasser's "Squirrel Statuette" from around 1937 depicts a small, seated squirrel holding a nut. The bronze statuette is a charming example of animalistic sculpture, capturing the squirrel's playful nature with a realistic yet stylized design. The delicate details, like the squirrel's fur and the nut in its paws, add to the piece's appeal. Delasser, a prominent artist known for her sculptures, used her expertise to create a whimsical yet sophisticated piece that would delight viewers of all ages.
