Charming Mid-Century French Painted Concrete Rabbit Garden Sculpture - 12½"

A charming mid-century French concrete garden sculpture depicting a seated rabbit, dating to the 1950s. The form is simply and softly modeled, with gently rounded contours and lightly defined features; the upright ears, round painted eye, and splayed front paws give it a calm, attentive presence and storybook charm.

The surface bears a beautifully weathered patina, with remnants of its original pale paint now softened and worn. Areas of exposed concrete create a mottled, chalky texture, enriched by subtle tonal variations and traces of moss from years outdoors. Minor losses are consistent with age and garden use, adding to its authenticity.

Modest in scale and full of naïve charm, this piece would sit beautifully among planting or on a terrace, and works equally well indoors, where its weathered patina and gentle form bring a poetic presence to the space.
