Limited Edition Bronze: ‘Mouse on Apple’ by international sculptor Michael Simpson: a charming tableau, signed by the sculptor, it arrives in a smart presentation box with limited edition certificate

An exercise in Nature’s contrasts: a fieldmouse sits on a windfall red apple, half eaten by wasps, to create a charming tableau, capturing a moment in time from the imagination of international animalier sculptor Michael Simpson. The mouse pauses, sniffs the air, and prepares to continue his meal.

In this appealing composition the apple has been patinated a soft red to complement the chestnut brown of the bronze. The sculpture is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design is finished by the art of patination, where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown and red patina. The bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.

The bronze is beautifully presented in a printed box containing a signed certificate of authenticity. The bronze is engraved with the sculptor’s signature and limited edition number, matching the certificate enclosed.
