Description from the seller
This is a ceramic sculpture in a classic and naturalistic style, depicting a pair of zebras (a mother with her calf) at 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 lies 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 ground, finished with shades of green and ochre.
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).
Pictorial Details: The black stripes are painted precisely over the white background, following the muscular anatomy of the animals to emphasize their 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 items that sought to bring a touch of wild nature (often associated with the "Safari" or "Hollywood Regency" style) inside homes. It is a piece that combines the elegance of black and white with the softness of curved forms.
