AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This charming set of birds by Italian artist Elli Malevolti immediately shows why her work is so loved by collectors of modern figurative art. The two sculptures – a stately, slender bird and a more compact, almost playful counterpart – together form a beautiful duo that is perfectly balanced.

Elli Malevolti is an Italian artist known for her 20th-century sculptures, especially those of birds and wild animals.
Works often consist of a combination of materials such as resin and brass, displaying a distinctive style that captures the essence of their subjects.
Characteristic of Malevolti’s style is the subtle interplay between metallic elements and organic, hand-shaped materials. The artist combines smoothly polished metal with warm-toned surfaces that suggest the natural texture of feathers. The fine lines, expressive heads, and flowing proportions give the sculptures an almost lively presence.


Both birds stand firmly on slim, detailed legs and showcase the typical craftsmanship for which Malevolti is known. They appear both modern and timeless – sculptures that fit perfectly in both a sleek interior and a more classical setting.

Both images are signed.

A particularly decorative pair, ideal for art lovers who appreciate elegant animal figures with character and refinement.

Dimensions:
Ibis: H 38 cm x W 35 cm x D 13 cm
End: H 25 cm x W 31 cm x D 13 cm
