Italian-made ceramic sculpture Zebre con figlio, a glazed ceramic in a classical naturalistic Safari/Hollywood Regency style, depicting a mother zebra with her cub, signed, 28 x 22 x 21 cm, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
This is a ceramic sculpture in a classical and naturalistic style, depicting a pair of zebras (a mother with her foal) in a moment of rest.
Here are the main details of the work:
Subject and Composition
Dynamic: The composition is pyramidal and harmonious. The larger zebra is lying on the ground in a vigilant position, with one front leg slightly raised, while the foal emerges behind it, creating a sense of protection and depth.
Base: The animals rest on an irregular base that simulates grassy terrain, finished with green and ochre shades.
Style and Materials
Material: It is glazed ceramic. The finish is extremely glossy, typical of decorative productions from the mid-20th century (vintage/retro style).
Paint Details: The black stripes are painted with precision 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 the home decor accessories that sought to bring a touch of wild nature (often associated with the "Safari" or "Hollywood Regency" style) into homes. It is a piece that combines the elegance of black and white with the softness of curved forms
