MARBLE SCULPTURE. “PAIR TIGERS”.
Decorative Antiques - Sculpture
Reference: Z1128
Pair of carved marble sculptures. “Tiger”. Inspired by oriental models. Set on a base that resembles earth thanks to sgraffito work, the tigers are depicted roaring. The stripes on their bodies are left in relief, as are the hairs on their faces; however, their whiskers and noses are simply engraved into the marble surface. Clear influences from Tibetan and Indian examples are evident in the figure, which stands out for its magnificent combination of textures and the expressiveness of the animal.
