The hippopotamus has held a special place in Pierre-Jean Chabert’s sculpted bestiary since his first animal bronze in 2011. In Le Combattant, the imposing semi-aquatic mammal appears close to the water’s surface, ready to defend its territory and herd. This bronze hippopotamus sculpture captures the animal’s courage and formidable strength through a resolute, combative attitude, recalling the power of a species equally at home in water and on land.
