Un festin de roi is a charming and expressive bronze sculpture by Sophie Verger depicting a young bear proudly holding the fish he has just caught.

With gentle humour and tenderness, the sculpture evokes the natural rhythm of the wild and the universal realities of the food chain. The bear’s upright posture and attentive gaze create a lively presence that transforms a simple hunting moment into a poetic and narrative scene.

This small-format sculpture belongs to Sophie Verger’s ongoing “bears and fish” series, in which she explores the expressive relationship between animals, instinct and storytelling through refined figurative modelling.

The warm brown patina of the bear contrasts beautifully with the green tone of the fish obtained through iron nitrate, reinforcing the visual balance of the composition. Both accessible and distinctive, Un festin de roi is particularly appreciated by collectors seeking contemporary animal bronzes with character and narrative clarity, and makes an excellent addition to both emerging and established sculpture collections.
