Alexander Ouline - Sculpture, Dos panteras en marcha - 20 cm - Marble, Spelter - 1930

Alexandre Ouline (attributed): "Two Panthers in Motion".
Description:
Art Deco sculpture depicting two panthers in motion on a tiered base. Made in zamak alloy (or high-quality calamine) with its original patina preserved. Work attributed to the renowned sculptor Alexandre Ouline and created circa 1930.
Although the piece shows no visible signature — a common circumstance due to reassembly or change of plinth during its history — the craftsmanship, the stylized anatomy, and the composition unmistakably correspond to the artist’s catalog.

Alexandre Ouline (Belgian/French-born sculptor active between 1918 and 1940) was born in Baku (Azerbaijan) in 1887. He spent most of his career between Belgium and France, especially noted for his representations of wildlife (panthers, felines, birds) and human figures in athletic tension. Among his most famous commemorative works are his iconic busts dedicated to the pioneering aviator Jean Mermoz.
