Pair of sculptures depicting panthers, large and well-made, made of bronze with lost-wax casting and dating back to the twentieth century, inspired by the design and subjects of the Art Deco period with an animalier taste.

The artist has captured with great skill the elegance and strength of the creatures, particularly fascinating for their realistic attention, and endowed with a remarkable sense of plasticity with the use of a modern drawing line.

The works, of French manufacture, take inspiration from the very famous creations of the sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti (Milan 1884 – Paris 1916), a Milanese who moved to Paris and Antwerp, creator of the famous Walking Panther (Panthère marchant) around 1904. While still alive, he was particularly appreciated within artistic circles, as his animal sculptures documented an acute ability of observation and empathy towards the depicted motif, inspiring many other colleagues.

Many are the authors of the Art Deco period, especially French and Italian, who specialized and enjoyed great popularity for their models of animals, especially exotic ones, including elephants and gazelles, with a particular predilection for predators such as panthers and lions.
