This solid bronze cat sculpture is a signed work by Lies Ketterer 1905-1976, featuring a hand-incised artist signature wrapping continuously around the base. The compact animalier form reflects a modernist sensibility, with smooth sculptural massing and restrained abstraction rather than decorative detailing. Cast in solid bronze, the piece shows natural surface variation consistent with hand-finished studio work.
Lies Ketterer is known for small-scale bronze sculptures emphasizing simplified animal forms and material integrity, producing works in limited quantities rather than mass production. Signed examples with fully hand-etched signatures are uncommon. The sculpture balances quiet presence with material weight, making it well suited for collectors of modern animalier bronzes and signed studio metalwork.
