Q: Does the sculpture represent a single bear or the mother + cub duo?
The mother + cub duo — the two bears are sculpted together in the same composition, as a single autonomous piece. The adult mother moving on all fours and the cub by her side form a complete narrative scene that is immediately readable: the mother advancing, the little one following. No need for two separate sculptures — the composition is already there, ready to settle.
Q: What is the difference between this sculpture and the standing bear in the catalog?
Posture, register, and format. The standing bear (H131cm, 24kg, XXL) is upright on its hind legs in an alert posture — solitary power, spectacular vertical impact. The mother and cub (H88cm, 20kg, Large) are moving on all fours — lower posture, wider footprint, family and tenderness register. The standing bear is taller and heavier; the mother and cub are more stable due to their quadrupedal posture. Both in the same space create the most complete bear composition in the catalog.
Q: Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated with anti-UV for the brown-red tones. At 20kg and with its wide ground footprint (81x68cm), its stability outdoors is excellent — its quadrupedal posture gives it better ground grip than the standing bear. No anchoring needed.
Q: Is a special installation required?
No — its weight (20kg) and its footprint (81x68cm) ensure total stability without anchoring on any firm horizontal surface. Its four-legged posture naturally gives it very good stability, even on slightly uneven ground. Two people are recommended for transport and setup.
Q: Is this the piece most suited for someone who wants the power of the bear and the tenderness of the duo?
This is precisely the piece that brings both together. The standing bear provides raw power and visual drama; the mother and cub provide the same power enriched with family tenderness and natural movement. For someone who wants something impressive AND moving, this is the strongest bear piece in the catalog. For maximum visual impact, both together in the same space is the definitive composition.
