ML0108Description
Stylized cast-metal sculpture depicting a reclining cat with upright triangular ears, simplified circular eyes, and a compact, elongated body. Smooth rounded contours and minimally articulated limbs give the composition a modernist character, while a contrasting dark brown and green patinated surface accentuates its sculptural form. The understated modeling conveys a sense of quiet alertness characteristic of decorative animalier sculpture.Type of Sculpture
