A ceramic sculpture titled Leopardo delle nevi from Italy, in excellent condition, with dimensions 32 cm wide, 75 cm high and 32 cm deep, signed and glazed in gran fuoco, depicting a seated snow leopard with an ivory white body and black spots.
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 alert seated pose. The body is elongated, with the tail gracefully wrapping 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.
Coloring and Decoration: The coat features a glossy ivory white background, speckled with round black spots of varying sizes that imitate the natural pattern of the feline. Finer details are noticeable on the snout and around the blue eyes, which add depth to the look.
Material and Finish: It is glazed ceramic fired at a "gran fuoco". The finish is extremely glossy, creating vivid light reflections on the animal's muscular curves, accenting its dynamic realism despite the stillness of the pose.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!!
