Description
Beautiful pair of bronze Cocker Terrier dogs, signed, on a green marble base.
Bronze with a marble base. Measures 12 cm x 13 cm x 15 cm. This sculptural group comprises a pair of dogs arranged in an attentive and reposeful attitude on a naturalistic base. One of the animals is reclining while the other stands upright with its head raised, creating an interesting contrast in postures and volumes. The anatomical treatment is precise, highlighting the musculature, the fur rendered with incisions and irregular textures, and the restrained expressiveness of the faces. The dark patina of the bronze, enriched by subtle nuances, reinforces the realistic character and visual depth of the piece. The craftsmanship reveals careful execution and a solid understanding of animal modeling, characteristic of the 19th-century European sculptural tradition, particularly linked to the fascination with animals. The work stands out for its compositional balance and the technical quality of the casting and finishing, constituting a representative example of decorative bronze sculpture of the period, with a strong aesthetic and collector appeal.
