Description

Beautiful animal sculpture representing a stylized leopard, made of metal with a remarkable green patina nuanced with dark tones.

The animal stands out by its slender body, its long legs and especially its large curling tail, which gives a lot of movement and elegance to the composition. The entire surface is worked with small circular relief motifs evoking the leopard's spotted coat.

The bronze has a beautiful green patina nuanced with dark tones, which highlights the reliefs and the many details of the casting. Surface irregularities contribute to the artisanal character of the piece.
