Superb and rare bronze sculpture depicting a panther on the prowl, captured in a realistic and powerful stance, ready to spring upon its prey. The feline, with striking expressive intensity, is shown poised on a large bronze branch, finely chiseled to faithfully render the bark and natural texture of wood.
This exceptional work is a unique commission, created in the early 1920s for a private mansion. It originates from the renowned foundries of Nantes, celebrated for the quality and refinement of their productions.
The deep black patina highlights the supple yet tense musculature of the animal, giving the whole composition an impressive sculptural presence and a remarkable sense of realism.
Dimensions:
Panther length: 95 cm
Total length (branch): 117 cm
Total height: 63 cm
A rare and prestigious piece, ideal for collectors of animalier art and connoisseurs of monumental bronze sculptures.
