Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture by Geoffrey C. Smith
5" L x 3" W x 8" H on a rectangular wooden base
 
Snail Kite Study features a pair of bronze sculptures depicting the rare and elegant snail kite, each perched with quiet poise and unmistakable purpose. Their distinctive hooked beaks and slender silhouettes are captured in clean, focused lines, mounted on simple wooden bases that keep the emphasis on form and posture.
 
This sculpture has been presented by Friends of the Everglades, a not to its symbolic connection to Florida's delicate wetlands ecosystem. Geoffrey C. Smith's rendering honors the precision and resilience of this endangered bird, whose survival depends on the health of its habitat. Subtle patinas and fine details make this study both a work of art and a reflection of conservation's quiet urgency.
