Dog Seated on Its Cushion
Charming polychrome glazed terracotta sculpture depicting a dog seated on an elegant blue cushion adorned with a gilt trim. The sculpture displays a remarkable attention to realism, as evidenced by the finely modelled fur and the particularly lifelike expression of the animal. The flowing treatment of the coat lends the composition a natural sense of movement and vitality. The dog wears a delicate yellow collar, emphasizing its domestic character while adding a subtle touch of colour to this decorative piece.
