AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This charming bronze sculpture depicts a puppy with remarkable warmth and delicacy, bearing the signature “Masayuki.”
Its rounded form, downward-looking expression, and gently curled tail beautifully capture the innocent and tender character of a young dog.

Fine detailing in the fur texture enhances the realism of the piece, while the smooth bronze surface and dark patina create a calm and elegant atmosphere. The sculpture reveals subtle highlights and shadows depending on the viewing angle.

Compact yet full of presence, this work is ideal as an interior decorative object and would make a wonderful addition to any bronze or animal sculpture collection.

Minor wear and small scratches consistent with age are present, but the overall condition remains very good.
