Unfortunately no signature found on this sculpture, but the artist's skill is such that this abstract, fantasy animal reveals an understanding of anatomy that renders its stance utterly convincing. You feel the weight on the legs and feet, the thrust of the hips and the head. And despite the elegant austerity of its form and color, it expresses something whimsical, even friendly. Repaired breaks to back legs. Approx. 9 1/2"L x 6" W x 13" H. Provenance: the estate of John Long, highly regarded Virginia antiques dealer and collector.
