Snail Kite Study
Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture of a snail kite 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 nod to its symbolic connection to Florida's delicate wetland 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.
Edition Note
This sculpture is signed as a limited edition of 48, but the mold is no longer available, and only 3 were ever cast, making this edition extremely rare. Each piece is individually hand-numbered and carries the authentic signature of Geoffrey C. Smith.
