Sculptor, American, 1876 - 1973

The sculpture depicts an elephant in motion with its trunk curled under and large ears extended. It is cast in bronze, showcasing a rich, dark brown color with subtle variations that emphasize the texture and details of the elephant's body and skin folds. The elephant stands prominently on a rectangular base that suggests a naturalistic terrain. The sculpture is presented at a scale smaller than life-size but the detailed rendering of the elephant's features and posture conveys a realistic and lively depiction.
