LG BRONZE CHEETAH SCULPTURE KENWORTHY

A beautiful bronze cheetah by well listed artist Jonathan Kenworthy. Aged eleven Kenworthy was invited to attend the Royal College of Art by John Skeaping, then Professor of the Department of Sculpture. Later Skeaping wrote of him: "He is, to my mind, the best sculptor of animals to make an appearance this century". Since then he has been widely acknowledged as the leading sculptor in his field. (Christies) In 1993 he was commissioned by the Duke and Duchess of Westminster to create a sculpture to be placed on a lake in the gardens at Eaton Hall, in Cheshire. A second casting of the piece, depicting a lioness chasing a lesser kudu, was placed in Upper Grosvenor Gardens, in central London. The thirty foot bronze was dedicated by the Duke to mark the opening of the gardens to the people of Westminster in June 2000.
