Ghepardo, a signed Italian ceramic statue of a seated cheetah, with a glossy finish, dimensions 30 cm wide, 60 cm high and 26 cm deep, in excellent condition and made in Italy; not shipped to Germany.
Description from the seller
This statue depicts a seated cheetah, made of ceramic. An example of interior decorative objects, associated with the 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 portrayed in a proud, composed pose, sitting on its hind legs with the torso upright. The head is slightly tilted, giving the figure a vigilant but serene expression.
Color and Details: The coat features an ochre/orange base that fades to white on the muzzle, chest, and lower part of the body. The dark spots are created with a shading technique typical of quality ceramics, which avoids too sharp outlines for a more realistic effect.
Face: The eyes are particularly expressive, painted in a yellow-amber tone with well-defined black pupils. The nose is glossy black 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 gloss of the glaze enhances the color contrasts of the fur.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!!
