An imposing figurative sculpture depicting a panther in an attacking stance , crafted in the 1950s from stone and marble with expert material modeling. The figure's dynamic rendering—tense muscles, penetrating gaze, and aggressive posture—gives the work a powerful expressive charge, capturing the moment of maximum energy before the leap. The juxtaposition of different stone and marble qualities adds visual depth and chromatic tone to the overall piece, with smooth surfaces and contrasting textures that highlight the virtuosity of the craftsmanship.
This sculpture combines a realistic interpretation of the animal with a formal language that emphasizes compositional balance, resulting in a dramatic and refined effect. The rock base, also sculpted, provides not only a solid structural support but also a narrative element that contextualizes the figure in an imaginary and evocative landscape.
Perfect for display as a visually striking piece in galleries, elegant living rooms, dramatic entrances, or professional studios , the panther embodies a combination of strength, grace, and sculptural tension. The quality of the materials and attention to detail highlight a work designed to last and attract attention from every angle.
The work is in excellent general condition , with well-preserved surfaces and intact material grain, ready to be enhanced.
