This stunning bronze leopard sculpture captures the animal walking in a relaxed pose, tail outstretched in an elegant curve, front paw lifted to complement the curve of the tail, allowing an intimate view of the pads on the paw. The head is turned slightly to engage the viewer whilst retaining the elegant, flowing line through the body. The face with gentle pant shows this to be a cat at ease, ears relaxed, showing off the grace and beauty for which these magnificent beasts are so widely admired. Leopard is released in a limited edition of just 9 pieces.
Traditional bronze casting is a highly skilled and time consuming process. First Nick meticulously sculpts the animal in clay. A wax model is produced from the original sculpture and used to create a mould. A new wax model is required for each sculpture in the edition, as the wax is burned away in the casting process. Nick checks and refines each wax model personally. Large sculptures must be cast in sections and welded together. Once cast, the piece must be finished and patinated. Whilst expensive, bronze casting produces animal sculptures of wonderful depth and detail. These are true investment pieces to treasure and pass down through the generations.
