Description from the seller

Elegant miniature figure of a terrier-type dog, the work of the renowned Spanish silversmith Francisco Vera, an indisputable reference in animal sculpture in silver of the 20th century.

The piece stands out for its extraordinary engraving and chiseling work that faithfully and expressively reproduces every detail of the animal: the rough, textured fur characteristic of the terrier, its firm bearing and its unmistakable character. A miniature that reflects the deep knowledge of animal nature and the technical mastery that define Francisco Vera's work.

Francisco Vera's animalist miniatures are increasingly difficult to find on the market and highly valued by Spanish and international collectors, which makes this piece of special artistic and collectible value.
