"Set Of Four French Hunting Decoys, Early 20th Century"

These four painted wooden hunting decoys are rare pieces, testifying to French folk art and traditions of the early 20th century. Each decoy is finely carved and hand-painted, with particular attention paid to the details of the plumage and colors, reflecting the artisanal expertise of the time. Historically, decoys were used to attract waterfowl during hunting in marshes and ponds. These objects, beyond their functional use, have become symbols of traditional hunting and French folk art. They are often associated with the visual poetry of nature, as evoked in the writings of Jacques Rouré, where wildlife and aquatic landscapes meet in a ballet of movements and sounds.
