Walking Panther – After Alexandre Ouline (1895-1944) Bronze Sculpture With Silver Patina

Walking Panther – after Alexandre Ouline (1895-1944) Bronze sculpture with a silver patina – 20th century. An elegant sculpture depicting a walking panther, made of bronze with a silver patina, after a model by the animal sculptor Alexandre Ouline (1895-1944). The animal is shown in a supple and silent pose, captured in a natural movement characteristic of felines. The elongated body, subtly modeled muscles, and slightly forward head perfectly convey contained power and feline grace. This pursuit of movement and anatomical tension is typical of the work of early 20th-century animal sculptors. The bronze surface has a beautiful, luminous, and contemporary metallic patina that highlights the sculpture's elegant volumes and lines. The piece rests on a rectangular black base, emphasizing the animal's slender silhouette. The panther motif is well-known in the work of Alexandre Ouline, a sculptor of Russian origin active in Paris during the first half of the 20th century, particularly renowned for his depictions of animals—especially felines, dogs, and horses—in a naturalistic style influenced by the great tradition of French animal sculpture. This decorative sculpture, both powerful and elegant, integrates perfectly into a classic, Art Deco, or contemporary interior. Length: 50 cm Width: 15 cm A beautiful decorative object inspired by the great tradition of 20th-century animal sculpture.
