Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVATION!
A fascinating 20th-century painting depicting a cheetah family resting in front of the entrance to a rocky cavity. The composition is dominated by the adult animal in the foreground, portrayed with great attention to its distinctive spotted coat, while two young specimens appear in the background.
The work features a detailed painterly rendering, with particular care in describing the fur, the spots, and the expressions of the animals. The warm, earthy tones of the landscape contrast effectively with the dark cave backdrop, making the cheetahs’ figures emerge strongly.
The wooden frame, characterized by alternating dark and gilded elements, complements the composition well and enhances its decorative impact.
The photographs were also taken under spotlights to best showcase colors, details, and the painterly surface.
The work presents normal signs and flaws compatible with its age and history. The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in case of damage during transport. For each work we issue a warranty certificate.
Fast shipping and professional, meticulous packaging. Each work destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in a suitable tube, without frame or stretcher.
