AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Signed on the back of the sculpture.

This charming bronze sculpture by Constance Wibaut shows two playful kittens that are naturally and intimately intertwined with each other. The soft, rounded forms and the friendly modeling give the piece a playful appearance that is instantly recognizable and inviting. Their heads turned toward each other suggest curiosity, contact, and a relaxed moment of play, making the sculpture exude a warm and approachable atmosphere.

The compact composition, despite its modest size, has a strong presence thanks to the massiveness of its form and the vibrant texture that makes the bronze feel rich. The dark patina, subtly complemented by light nuances, emphasizes the movement and the modeling, giving the sculpture extra depth when light falls across it.

This sculpture is a cheerful and heartwarming addition to any room. It appeals to both animal lovers and collectors of smaller bronze sculptures. With its friendly look and strong presence, this artwork will always attract attention in a pleasant way.
