White Cockerel, Marble, Unique, 43cm high by 23.5cm wide by 22cm deep, Animals and Birds sculpture

White Cockerel is a unique marble sculpture measuring 43 cm high, 23.5 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. The piece depicts a cockerel standing tall, its posture proud and animated, capturing the energy of the bird in a single gesture.

The cockerel rises on its back legs, chest pushed forward, and head lifted as if mid-crow. Its wings are small and held slightly away from the body, giving a scrawny yet expressive appearance. In contrast, the tail feathers are large and taper to the ground, providing both balance and visual drama. The sculpture rests on a moulded base, securing its upright stance.

The marble is polished and smooth, emphasizing the flow of the bird’s form. A subtle black streak runs through the body, adding contrast and character to the otherwise white surface. Light glides across the polished surfaces, highlighting curves and edges while drawing attention to the tail feathers and wings.

White Cockerel combines realism with stylized interpretation. The bird’s exaggerated posture conveys vitality and presence, while the fine polishing and marble variation create elegance. Despite the small wings, the sculpture communicates strength and pride. Its grounded tail and sculpted base anchor the piece visually and physically, giving it stability and form.

This work captures the spirit of a cockerel in motion. It balances energy, texture, and naturalism, transforming marble into a vivid, expressive animal sculpture. The combination of polish, posture, and subtle colour variation makes it both striking and refined.
