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

This piece by Tanya Russell is a delightful bronze resin sculpture, capturing the gentle charm of a contented pig at rest. Cast in bronze resin, this life-like piece highlights Russell’s renowned ability to infuse her animal sculptures with warmth, personality, and natural realism. 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. The round belly resting on the ground while its sturdy hind legs are tucked to the side. The pig’s broad snout tilts slightly upward, and eyes seem half-closed in a moment of quiet contentment. Fine surface detailing brings the pig’s folds of skin and rounded form beautifully to life, giving  a tactile quality.

Russell’s careful craftsmanship and sensitive modelling convey the pig’s gentle nature and natural curiosity. 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. The piece 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 as a farmyard icon and a creature full of life and quiet dignity.
