Bushells Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Crafted with exceptional anatomical precision, the sculptor has conveyed every detail—from the taut muscles in the legs to the poised alertness of the head—evoking the silent tension of a big cat on the hunt.

The greenish patina adds depth and texture to the lifelike coat, while the sleek black marble base, flecked with gold and white, offers an elegant contrast that enhances the sculpture’s presence. At nearly 16 kg, this substantial piece is as much a statement of craftsmanship as it is a decorative artwork.

Firmly rooted in the Animalier tradition of the late 19th and early 20th century, it reflects the influence of celebrated sculptors such as Antoine-Louis Barye and Alexander Phimister Proctor. Whether displayed as a tribute to nature’s raw beauty or as a symbol of strength and stealth, it is certain to draw attention in any setting.
