La Harde des cerfs

The bronze sculpture represents a family of deer measuring 220 centimeters in height and 190 centimeters in width, depicting their natural behavior.

Arthur Le Duc created this bronze sculpture in 1885, which was inaugurated on January 17, 1886, and displayed at the Universal Exhibition of 1889.

The sculpture represents hunting terminology, as 'harde' refers to a group of wild animals living together, while 'rapproché' indicates tracking work.

Located in the southern lawn area of Luxembourg Garden, the sculpture maintains its original position and remains accessible to all visitors.

A plaster model of this sculpture resides at Château des Matignon in Torigny-les-Villes, while another bronze copy exists in Belgium.
