This is an antique spelter statue of a young man hunter holding a rifle with his right hand and a game hare with his raised left arm. His high spirits are well portrayed by the artist in his gait and smiling face. The statue with base is 14 3/4" tall, the base is 5 3/4" diameter. It is over 3 lbs. in weight. Likely from the 20's, the statue is painted green, the face is bronze tone. Signed on the "rock" George Omerth; original copper label tacked in front of base reads "CHASSEUR Par G. Omerth". The statue is in very good antique condition. No loose or missing parts; no cracks. While several samples of the sculptor's work is available for view on line, this particular item appear to be uncommon. Great patina of age.
George Omerth, according to internet sources, was productive in the years 1895-1925. He is regarded among noted and highly collectible Art Deco artists as F Preiss & D Chiparus.
