This magnificent vintage sculpture from the 1960s captures the wild essence and elegance of big cats, representing a cheetah on a large scale.

Subject and Style: The animal is depicted in a seated, alert position, its jaws open in an expressive roar that reveals its power. The style is the unmistakable mid-century "Animalier" style, very popular in eclectic and Hollywood Regency furnishings of the era. The glossy finish and hand-painted spotted fur (yellow ochre with black rosettes) give the sculpture a vibrant color that immediately draws the eye.

Materials and Craftsmanship: The work is crafted from a solid agglomerate of plaster and ceramic (often referred to as artistic chalkware or "Ceramicone"), a material that allowed for large-scale figures with excellent sculptural definition and solidity. The base is protected by original green felt pads.
