This relief work depicts a sporting dog, likely a retriever or setter, in mid-stride across a textured field while carrying a pheasant or similar game bird in its mouth. The piece is executed in a high-shine, silver-toned metal—likely silver-plated copper or pewter—using a repoussé and chasing technique to create significant three-dimensional depth and anatomical detail. The reflective surface contrasts against the dark, high-gloss rectangular frame, emphasizing the traditional sporting and wildlife subject matter.
