Q: What is the difference between this standing doe and the lying doe in the range?
The posture, the height, and the register. The lying doe (45x24xH37 cm, 3.2 kg) is in a calm and confident resting posture — horizontal, serene, lower. This standing doe (49x22xH52 cm, 3.7 kg) is standing on its four legs, head raised — vertical, present, vigilant. The standing one is slightly heavier and noticeably taller — a 15 cm difference that significantly changes the visual impact in a garden. The two can coexist very well to create a scene with two complementary postures.
Q: Can this sculpture stay outside all year round, including in the Belgian winter?
Yes, without restriction. The high-density polyresin is tested down to -20 °C. Its weight of 3.7 kg and its wide base on the ground — the four legs firmly planted — ensure perfect stability in all weather conditions, including wind. The UV treatment protects the warm tones of the fawn coat from fading. No sheltering necessary.
Q: Are the coat details hand-painted or industrial?
Hand-painted, layer by layer — this is what gives the fawn coat its natural shades and variations between the warmer back and the lighter belly. The standing posture exposes the sculpture from all angles, allowing appreciation of the craftsmanship at 360° — sides, neck, limbs, muzzle, ears.
Q: Can this standing doe be paired with the doe and fawn duo to create a family scene?
It is even the most successful composition in the doe range. The standing doe in the background (H52 cm, alert) and the mother-fawn duo in the foreground (H25 cm, at rest) create a complete forest family scene at two height levels — the 27 cm difference between the two pieces creates a natural perspective and a very effective visual hierarchy.
Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves the forest and the wild nature?
This is the most impactful piece in the catalog for this profile. A standing doe at H52 cm in a garden is a presence that does not go unnoticed and says something about its owner's love of nature. It is a generous, memorable gift that settles in permanently and often becomes the piece that is talked about first with garden visitors.
