Description
Robust, alert and full of character, this bronze Old English Game Cock is rendered with a sculptor’s eye for both anatomy and attitude. The proud stance and lifted head give the bird a commanding presence, while the carefully modelled plumage introduces movement across the surface. Bibby avoids excess detail, instead allowing confident modelling and a rich, earthy patina to suggest texture and weight. The long, sweeping tail feathers provide a counterpoint to the rounded body, creating a composition that feels balanced yet animated. Elevated on a base, the sculpture reads as both a celebration of rural life and a timeless animal study.
