Description from the seller
This statue depicts a seated cheetah, made in ceramic. An example of interior decorative objects, associated with Italian artistic production very popular between the 60s and 80s.
Here is a detailed description of its main elements:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject and Pose: The animal is portrayed in a proud, composed pose, sitting on its hind legs with its torso upright. The head is slightly tilted, giving the figure a vigilant yet serene expression.
Coloring and Details: The coat features a ochre/orange base that fades to white on the muzzle, chest, and the lower body. The dark spots are created with a shading technique typical of quality ceramics, avoiding too sharp contours for a more realistic effect.
The Face: The eyes are particularly expressive, painted in amber-yellow tones with well-defined black pupils. The shiny black nose and the fine lines around the mouth enhance the realism of the feline.
Materials and Finish
Material: Italian ceramics!!!!!!!!
Finish: The surface is entirely glazed (glossy), which gives the statue a strong reflectivity and a sense of preciousness to the touch. The glaze’s brightness enhances the color contrasts of the plumage.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!!
