Description from the seller
ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE!
A fascinating 20th-century painting depicting a leopard lying in a natural setting, captured in a calm and alert pose. The animal dominates the composition with its body elegantly resting on the ground, while its direct and intense gaze gives the scene a strong expressive presence.
Particularly careful is the rendering of the coat, described through numerous dark spots and rosettes that stand out against the golden background of the fur. The dark vegetation in the background creates an effective color contrast with the feline figure, while the rocks and dry grasses complete the natural setting.
The dark wood frame with a gold inner profile complements the work well and enhances its warm tones.
The photographs were also taken under spotlights to best show colors, details, and the painted surface.
The work shows normal signs and flaws compatible with time and its history. The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in case of possible damage during transport. For each work we issue a certificate of guarantee.
Fast shipping and professional, careful packaging. Each work destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in a dedicated tube, without stretcher and without frame.
