"Art Deco – Terracotta Sculpture Signed Guido Cacciapuoti – Italy – Woman With Bulldog – H"
Art Deco terracotta sculpture, 42 cm high, depicting an elegant young woman walking a bulldog, by the Italian sculptor Guido Cacciapuoti (1892–1953). The sculpture is signed in relief “G. Cacciapuoti,” confirming its authenticity, and is an Italian piece from the first half of the 20th century. The composition is distinguished by the balance of volumes and the quality of the modeling. The elegant and understated female figure perfectly illustrates the Italian Art Deco aesthetic, while the realistically and expressively modeled dog brings dynamism and modernity to the scene. The metal leash reinforces the narrative interpretation of the whole. Blackened wood base.
