Bison Sculpture with Tail Up

Description

This bronze bison sculpture captures the American bison in a moment of alert energy. In Bison Sculpture with Tail Up, Eric Thorsen portrays a mature bull standing square on the prairie, head low and tail curled high above its back, a classic sign of a bison that is stirred up and ready to move. The dense, shaggy mane and beard contrast with the smooth, muscular hindquarters, and every detail of the curved horns, deep-set eye, and powerful shoulder hump is sculpted with the anatomical accuracy and texture that define Thorsen’s wildlife work.

Finished in a rich brown bronze patina with warm highlights and mounted on a hand-finished walnut base, this piece brings the strength and spirit of North America’s iconic animal into a size that suits a desk, mantel, bookshelf, or collection.
