Ceramic sculpture titled Leopardo delle nevi from Italy, 75 cm high, 32 cm wide and 32 cm deep, in excellent condition and signed.
Description from the seller
This is a splendid ceramic sculpture depicting a snow leopard (or a light-variant spotted leopard), crafted in a style that recalls the great tradition of Italian artistic ceramics from the mid-20th century.
Here is a detailed description of the work:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject and Pose: The animal is depicted in a regal and vigilant seated pose. The body is svelte, with the tail gracefully curling around the base of the hind legs. The gaze is directed upward and slightly to the side, giving the statue a proud and almost human expression.
Coloration and Decoration: The coat features a glossy ivory-white background, dotted with circular black spots of varying sizes that imitate the natural pattern of the feline. Finer details can be seen on the muzzle and around the blue eyes, which add depth to the gaze.
Material and Finish: It is glazed ceramic in a "grand feu" firing. The finish is extremely glossy, creating vivid light reflections on the animal's muscular curves, accentuating its dynamic realism despite the static pose.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!!
