Ceramic Italian statue titled Ghepardo, signed, measuring 60 cm high by 30 cm wide by 26 cm deep, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
This statue depicts a seated cheetah, made of ceramic. An example of interior decorative accessories, associated with Italian artistic production that was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s.
Here is a detailed description of its main elements:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject and Pose: The animal is depicted in a proud and composed stance, sitting on its hind legs with the torso upright. The head is slightly tilted, giving the figure a vigilant yet serene expression.
Coloration and Details: The coat has an ochre/orange base color that fades to white on the muzzle, the chest, and the lower part of the body. The dark spots are created with a shading technique typical of high-quality ceramics, which avoids too sharp outlines for a more realistic effect.
The Face: The eyes are particularly expressive, painted with an amber-yellow tone and well-defined black pupils. The glossy black nose and the fine lines around the mouth enhance the realism of the feline.
Materials and Finish
Material: Ceramica Italiane!!!!!!!!
Finish: The surface is fully glazed (glossy), which gives the statue a strong reflectivity and a tactile sense of preciousness. The gloss of the enamel enhances the color contrasts of the plumage.
We do not send to Germany!!!!!
