Ceramic glazed sculpture titled Zebre con figlio from Italy, depicting a mother zebra with her foal in a classical naturalistic style, measuring 28 cm wide by 22 cm high by 21 cm deep, signed and in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
This is a ceramic sculpture in a classic, naturalistic style, depicting a pair of zebras (a mother with her foal) resting together.
Here are the main details of the work:
Subject and Composition
Dynamics: The composition is pyramidal and harmonious. The larger zebra lies on the ground in a vigilant pose, with one front leg slightly raised, while the foal emerges behind her, creating a sense of protection and depth.
Base: The animals rest on an irregular base that simulates grassy terrain, finished with green and ochre tones.
Style and Materials
Material: It is glazed ceramic. The finish is extremely glossy, typical of mid-20th-century decorative productions (vintage/retro style).
Pictorial Details: The black stripes are painted precisely over the white background, following the animals’ muscular anatomy to emphasize volume. The eyes are defined with small touches of color that give expressiveness to the faces.
Atmosphere
The statue has a vintage and exotic flavor, typical of home decor accessories that sought to bring a touch of wild nature (often associated with the “Safari” or “Hollywood Regency” style) into living spaces. It is a piece that combines the elegance of black and white with the softness of curved forms.
