Stone, Quartz Egret Stretching

A sculptural egret caught mid-stretch, rendered in enameled brass with the studied stillness of a creature wholly at ease in its environment. The piece rises fifteen and a quarter inches, its elongated neck and extended form composing a quietly vertical silhouette that rewards placement on a console, ledge, or layered tableau. John Richard's craftsmanship brings an almost painterly finish to the metal, the enamel lending depth and chromatic presence to every feathered contour.
