Sitting Pig by Tanya Russell, Bronze Resin, Edition 1 of 25, 70cm high by 135cm wide by 70cm deep, Animals and Birds, Nature sculpture

A realism bronze resin sculpture of a large pig sitting down.

Sitting Pig by Tanya Russell is a delightful bronze resin sculpture that captures the gentle charm and quiet character of a contented pig at rest. Cast in bronze resin and numbered as Edition 1 of just 25, this life-like piece highlights Russell’s renowned ability to infuse her animal sculptures with warmth, personality, and natural realism. Measuring an impressive 70 cm high, 135 cm wide, and 70 cm deep, this large-scale work makes an eye-catching addition to a garden, courtyard, or rural setting.

The sculpture depicts a robust pig comfortably settled into a relaxed sitting position, its round belly resting on the ground while its sturdy hind legs are tucked to the side. The pig’s broad snout tilts slightly upward, its small ears perked forward, and its eyes seem half-closed in a moment of quiet contentment. Fine surface detailing brings the pig’s bristly hide, folds of skin, and rounded form beautifully to life, giving the sculpture a tactile quality that invites closer inspection.

Russell’s careful craftsmanship and sensitive modelling convey the pig’s gentle nature and natural curiosity, while the choice of bronze resin allows the piece to hold a rich, warm patina that glows softly in natural light. Placed among garden plants, by a farm entrance, or on a sunny lawn, Sitting Pig radiates a comforting rural charm and reminds us of the simple, honest character of these much-loved animals.

Perfect for country homes, farms, or collectors of animal art, this sculpture celebrates the pig not only as a farmyard icon but as a creature full of life and quiet dignity.
